cover 1840, an exquisite and delicate 'lace' envelope (with original 'lace' enclosure) from Haverford West to London, then re-addressed to Stranraer, bearing 1840 1d. plate 1a, KL, large margins, light strike of the red Maltese Cross, showing red circular "LONDON/PAID" datestamp of 17 August 1840 and red handstruck "1" alongside; negligible cover imperfections and adhesive with crease or enclosure ridge but in no way detracting from this very rare and quite beautiful exhibition item.
