Maritime Mail of Spanish Colonies in America

Guatemala Incoming Mail 1800 circa. Undated cover from Spain to Guatemala, struck at Cádiz with "España" postmark (Kouri type VIII) in black, and rated "4" reales with corresponding marking, both applied in black, the latter paying the maritime (3 reales) and inland (1 real) fees. It may have followed the Cádiz-Havana-Veracruz-Guatemala route. The "España" marking, struck in black, is so far unique on mail to Guatemala. Ex Kouri.
