BECHUANALAND
Postal Stationery
REGISTERED ENVELOPES  -  British Bechuanaland
AB2841
ESSAY for the 1887 registered postal stationery envelope. Utilising a Great Britain 2d greenish slate registration envelope (size F). With ‘BECHUANALAND’ (only) in large, bold, serif capitals printed in an arc above the imprinted stamp on the flap, and surcharged ‘FOUR’ with bars cancelling the original word ‘TWO’ (as adopted). Fine and very rare. Apparently unrecorded by Thy / Inglefield-Watson.
