Mauritius King George V 4c & 6c Stamps on Cover to Réunion

Mauritius · 1911 · 4 Cents & 6 Cents

This is a postal cover sent from Mauritius to Saint-Denis, Réunion in 1911. It is franked with two definitive stamps from the King George V series: a 4 Cents carmine and a 6 Cents purple, both featuring the monarch's portrait in an oval frame. The cover bears clear postmarks from Port Louis, Mauritius, and a receiving mark from Saint-Denis.

This cover represents routine mail between two neighboring Indian Ocean islands, both important colonial outposts at the time—Mauritius for the British Empire and Réunion for France. The King George V definitive series was newly issued, replacing the stamps of his father, King Edward VII.
