Mexico, 1856–1861 Group of 10 classic Hidalgo-period postal items: old covers and folded letters, mostly addressed to Puebla. This lot forms a coherent group of mid-19th century Mexican classic postal history. Most items are addressed to Puebla, and several are sent to recipients bearing the Lara surname, giving the group the character of a small archival or family/business correspondence rather than a random accumulation of unrelated covers. The lot includes different frankings, among them 1 real, 2 reales, and multiple-franking items. It is appealing for its balance of consistency and variety: one historical period, a closely related destination pattern, and at the same time a range of postal and rate combinations. Especially attractive for collectors of: - classic Mexico philately - Latin American postal history - Hidalgo issues - 19
