1919 (Jan 1st) Illustrated "R.R.Truppe Italiane in Estremo Oriente" free-postage postcard from Vladivostok to Venice, bearing "RR. Poste Italiane/Truppe Italiane in Estremo Oriente/Comando" three-line handstamp in violet overstruck with Bologna framed censorship cachet, with part Venice arriving cds at top, (collector's cachet from Bruxelles at bottom); this postcard, displaying an allegory of Italy on the Russian steppe with a city in the background, has two different issues: the first one, rarer, was printed in Tientsin showing a frame around the design, the second, without frame around the design, was printed in Vladivostok (Siberia). Probably the finest example of the few items recorded featuring the scarcer type of this design, which was printed in China (it is mainly found with some toning and edge faults). (Image)
