Item Description

This intriguing cover is addressed simply to "CAROLINA DI SAVOIA, MALDONADO", without any further indication, suggesting that the recipient was either well-known locally or that the postal system efficiently handled such simplified addresses.

What makes this item particularly interesting is the routing note: "MONTEVIDEO PER MALDONADO" in Italian. The use of "PER" implies a specific transport route, which was unusual for domestic correspondence in Uruguay.

The cover bears postal markings from MONTEVIDEO > PUNTA DEL ESTE > MALDONADO, indicating that it may have been transported BY SHIP TO PUNTA DEL ESTE BEFORE BEING FORWARDED TO MALDONADO. Such maritime routes were common during the period, especially before the development of an extensive road network.

A fascinating piece of postal history that could provide further insight into Uruguay's transport and communication routes during the time.
