Bridgwater Postcard, Insufficiently Prepaid, 1922.

The commercial postcard below, titled as "Printed Paper Rate" was franked with 1d stamp in February 1922.  To qualify as Printed Matter, the postcard had to contain a maximum of five words.  Unfortunately it did not do so, so was liable to the Postcard rate which was 1½d from the 13th June 1921 to 28th May 1922.  As a result it was under franked by ½d and was charged 1d postage due.
