EXTREMELY FINE. AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING MULTICOLORED MAGNUS PATRIOTIC COVER USED TO GERMANY. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE MOST COLORFUL DESIGNS USED TO AN OVERSEAS DESTINATION THAT WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED.

The most famous Patriotics to overseas destinations are the celebrated Angell covers, addressed to Dr. Angell in various destinations in Europe. The cover offered here, with its overall multicolored design, is more colorful than any we have encountered from any correspondence. Patterson Park Hospital was also known as McKim's Mansion Hospital.

With 2012 P.F. certificate.
