RARE "AN OCEAN PENNY POSTAGE, WILL IT PAY?" LEAFLET BY ELIHU BURRITT - 1851 4-page leaflet (126 x 189mm; easily fits an album page) with detailed printed arguments in favour of cheap transatlantic postage by this famous Postal Reformer. Burritt explains that this plan concerned all overseas mail from Britain, as he proposed a 1d inland rate plus 1d to cross any sea/ocean and a final 1d for the destination country, i.e. 3d in all to the U.S. (a rate not introduced until 1870). One of only three recorded examples of this important leaflet [one sold by Cavendish in June 2012 for £700) produced by the man who was largely responsible for most of the attractive pictorial "Ocean Penny Postage" envelopes. (Estimate 400 GBP)
