Venetian so-called A.Q. or Acque revenue sheet, regarded by some as the first postal stationary in the world, but more properly regarded as a fiscal / revenue for maintaining the Venetian canal system. First issued in 1608 and continued until Napoleon captured La Serenissima / The Most Serene Republic. Folded, with some insect damage at folds, worn, as per scans. Old as they are, all of these revenue sheets are quite scarce.
