1908 (11th June), colour picture postcard (‘Native Dug-Out Canoes’) addressed to Mafeking, Cape Colony. Bearing a single KEVII 1d scarlet (SG 68) tied by a FRANCISTOWN / BECHD PROTEC (11 Jun) single circle datestamp with a Mafeking (15 Jun) arrival datestamp alongside. Odd minor stain, otherwise very fine. Apparently overpaid as the Protectorate postcard rate to other southern African territories at this time was ½d.
