A front from Antigua to St Lucia franked with 6 x Id vermilion adhesives (the only recorded
example of this franking) cancelled A02 on the 17th or 18th September 1869. It was carried by the R.M.S.P.
steamer “Tamar” on its route through the islands leaving St Thomas on the 18th and arriving in St Lucia
on the 20lh. A red manuscript “4” indicated the credit to the U.K. for the sea transit, the remaining 2d
probably staying in Antigua. Ex Mayer, Griffiths & Freeland.
