Description
1850 sea mail letter sent from Cadiz to Havana. This unique piece of pre-philately stands out for its historical value, having been transported across the Atlantic Ocean at a time when maritime mail was essential for communication between continents. On the obverse is the typical date stamp «baeza» from Cadiz, a classic postage stamp of the time, as well as the manuscript "Correo Marítimo", which confirms the use of this means of transport. The letter is addressed to Mr. Matias Roncao and Saavedras, which adds a personal touch and offers insight into the business and personal connections of the 19th century.
The document is in good condition, considering its age and the transatlantic voyage. The handwritten ink remains legible, with the clear markings and stamps standing out. The edges of the paper show some signs of age, but these do not affect its integrity. This letter is not only of interest to pre-philately collectors, but also to those passionate about the history of communications and trade in the 19th century. It represents a fragment of the past that allows us to glimpse a world where maritime mail was the main link between nations.
