Lot 90084 – The Famous Postal Notice: Postal Notice announcing the arrival of the 1867 issue

The Famous Postal Notice

Postal Notice announcing the arrival of the 1867 issue, dated “July the 11th 1867”. This original notice shows instruction to the Postmasters in Italian, French, Arabic, and English, bearing a complete set of all six values affixed at the base and another fine mint set on an exhibition page. As to be expected there are creases and a few stains to the Notice.

An outstanding museum showpiece and of the greatest importance to classic Egyptian philately.

Provenance: Peter Smith (illustrated on the dust jacket of his book).
