Mauritius · 1911 · 10c

This is a postal cover sent from Mauritius to Saint-Denis, Réunion in 1911. It is franked with a 10 cent carmine stamp from the King George V definitive series, which features a portrait of the monarch. The cover bears clear postmarks from both Port Louis, Mauritius, and Saint-Denis, Réunion, documenting its journey.

This cover represents routine mail between two neighboring Indian Ocean islands, both important colonial outposts at the time. The King George V definitive series was newly issued following his accession to the throne in 1910, making this an early usage.
