Day 1- Europe & Overseas, South & Central America - the Brian Moorhouse Estate (Part Ii)

1819 (Sept 10): Long entire religious letter from Monte Santo to Rio de Janeiro endorsed "Lisbona per Rio Janeiro", struck with fine framed RECANATI handstamp in red (Macerata), disinfected with two slits on face panel, presumably on arrival in Lisbon by ship from Ancona or Rome; "720" (reis) due marking at upper right in manuscript. An extremely unusual and rare early usage to Brazil from Italy and in remarkably fine quality.
