Interestingly datelined also Peking 24 Feb 1882. Card should have transited Tientsin and should have been paid there or on arrival in Peking, with either dragon stamp or PAID chop. As it was an announcement card, which the writer carried with him & sent it from Shanghai, after having filled in details of a forwarded letter. Perhaps it entered a mailbag to Peking without surfacing for charges, as a card, bypassing Customs scrutiny. Highly interesting, rare early usage of this stationery. (Photo). Est. 300 - 400 CHF.
