Two postal stationery cards from Barbados, the first of which was impressed with a 1 ‘Ad
value which had been the rate since 1879. It was addressed to Paramaibo in Dutch Guiana and
cancelled by a boot heel duplex on 14th July 1875. It was back stamped in Paramaibo almost two
weeks later on the 23rd.
The second was overprinted “ONE PENNY” as a result of the rate changes in 1891. It was
addressed to St Thomas and struck with the same type of cancellation on 11th April 1892. It arrived
in St Thomas on the 14th.
