Good evenings,

Here are scans of the letter card.

Inside (2cd scan), references to "Cricket news" and "Strand magazine"

Sent together ?

What is the rest of the card. Perhaps something to do with newspapers?

If not, then it's probably 'canceled against regulations'.



Thank you very much.


This one is on a letter card sent to Canada, so I did not think to a newspaper pre-cancel.


Best regards,




This unusual (?) one seems to be a London fancy cancel, but I do not find informations about it.

This is a newspaper agent pre-cancel, starting inthe 1870's. Issued to


certain large newspapers and agents to pre-cancel them before mailing.


Alcock and Holland are the GB cancel specialists, this is their type
