Francia. Ballons Montés

Automatically generated translation

Yvert 30. 1871. 30 chestnut cts. PARIS to BRUSSELS (BELGIUM), transported by the Ballon "General Cambrone". Submitted one day after the end of the Prussian siege of Paris (January 29, 1871). Inside the letter that begins with "Enfin c'est fini" (it's finally over), it is summarized how Paris has been left after the siege, the looting of the city, the actions of the National Guard, as well as other important annotations on daily life before and after the siege, in our opinion a text of enormous historical importance. MAGNIFICENT AND VERY RARE, NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF ITS DESTINATION TO BELGIUM, BUT BECAUSE IT IS THE LAST BALLOON AND LAST KNOWN DATE OF THE BALLON MONTES.
