The all-over design of fancy gold/black floral motifs covers both the back & front of the envelope and there is a man in period dress on the front and a matching female figure on the flap. Was this a belated Valentine letter? One of only a handful of recorded 1840s stamped covers with gold decorative designs. Ideal Exhibition Item for any Irish, 1d Reds or Cancellations collection.
