#209 1882 10c Brown, and #205 1882 5c Yellow Brown, Both Tied by Registry Cancels on Corner Card to France

New York double oval registry cancels on Scott Stamp & Coin, Co. corner card cover to France, with purple "REGISTERED RETURN RECEIPT" handstamp and type FXNY1a(III) registry label, and French receiving mark. The 5cstamp with gum stained perforations.

This cover is not only a registered letter but also displays a magenta handstamp REGISTERED RETURN RECEIPT requiring this more rarely used service in the foreign mails. Also, the addressee is the noted French motor engineer Edouard Delamare-DeBouteville (1856-1901), an early pioneer in the development of the automobile using a 4-stroke gasoline engine, and presumably an early stamp collector.
