1868, 10 pa. rose/blue and 2 pia. blue/rose, good to large margins all around, tied by illegible dotted rectangular to lettersheet from Aleppo to Beyrouth, endorsed inside “Aleppo" by the sender and merchant´s cachet on front, the adhesives probably cancelled upon arrival at destination port. One back flap missing and the cover tatty, still fine. The rare convergence of a most unusual combination franking and an elusive port of origin
