1907 Egyptian official document with First Issue 1m and 2m revenue stamps tied by bilingual cancels

Egypt 1907 - First Issue Revenues 1 & 2 Milliemes Tied on Official Document

Affixed at the upper left are two examples of Egypt’s First-Issue adhesive revenues: one 1 millieme (UNE PIASTRE) and one 2 milliemes (DEUX PIASTRES), printed in green with the large central oval framing the Khedivial tughra and the GOVERNMENT OF EGYPT bilingual banner. Both stamps remain fresh in color, retaining full perforations. Each is tied to the paper by a clear magenta manuscript cancellation across the top ("١٩٠٧"), a style used only during the earliest months of adhesive fiscal use. The cancellation touches the design but preserves all internal details of the frame and value tablets. Read more →

The stamps are affixed in neat rows, though some pages show traces of in-period handling-light smudges, small mounting abrasions, and faint ink offsetting around the centre fold. Read more →
