image image 1899 (Nov. 25) I.C.P. 1c postal stationery card registered from Nanking to Vienna, bearing C.I.P. 4c, 5c and 10c, cancelled by "Nanking" bilingual c.d.s., in combination with Japan Koban 10s vertical pair with "I.P.O." framed tie-print and "Shanghai/I.J.P.O." c.d.s.

No. 8" octagonal datestamp (11.28) adjacent, Very Fine and rare postal stationery usage from the Japanese Post Office sent as a letter, ex W.S. Kong,
