A cover sent from British Guiana to Barbados shortly before the introduction of the
Imperial Penny rate at the end of 1898. It does not look like as though it justified a printed paper
rate, but it was only franked 2 cents and was not fined. The adhesive was cancelled in Anna Regina
on 20th December 1897. The cover was back stamped in Georgetown the same day and arrived in
Barbados on the 23rd.
