5-centime Timbres pour Affiches pays Poster Tax in 1888 for an auction held in Esch-sur-Alzette

Poster Tax - Timbre Pour Affiches

 

Back:  Posted locally within Esch-sur-Alzette on July 13, 1888,

franked with a strip of three of the 1882 one-centime Allegory.

While many of the low denomination poster tax stamps were saved, very few survive on posters.   Thus for most of them, we have only the  bold printing with which they were typically cancelled, having been affixed to the paper before the poster was printed.

This poster is a giant, so large that only about half fits on my oversized scanner bed, so what you see are two scans spliced together!
