1873, postcard 5 centimos blue, used from “CADIZ 13 JAN 74” to Gibraltar, with front side arrival mark. Light creasing at left and tiny thin on reverse, still fine and attractive. This is the earliest use of a Spanish postcard to abroad and the earliest of 3 recorded cards from Spain to Gibraltar before UPU.
