1895 (27 June) ½c. card type I addressed to the Foreign Office, London via the British Consulate in Shanghai and bears a faint strike of Shanghai Local Post c.d.s (29.6) in blue and typical postman's pencil delivery note. Forwarded to London by the diplomatic bag. A rare and very desirable card, very few items of the Treaty Ports have been forwarded this way; this is thought to be the only such card from Kewkiang.
