Mauritius King George V 6c Postal Cover to Réunion, 1911

Mauritius · 1911 · 6 Cents

This is a postal cover sent from Mauritius to Saint-Denis, Réunion in 1911. It is franked with a 6 Cents carmine stamp featuring a portrait of King George V, part of the definitive series issued beginning in 1910. The stamp is tied to the envelope by a clear circular date stamp from Port Louis, Mauritius, dated October 25, 1911.

This cover represents routine mail between two neighboring Indian Ocean islands, both important colonial outposts at the time—Mauritius under British rule and Réunion under French rule. The King George V definitive series was used throughout the British Empire, symbolizing imperial unity.
