China
1898-1910 Imperial Chinese Post
Cover
1897 (27 Aug.) incoming postcard from England bearing 1.5p. cancelled by Hadleigh c.d.s. due to the recipient's relocation to Beijing, it was redirected there showing Peking c.d.s. and octagonal "T" postage due h.s. However, due to an addressing error, it need to returned to England matching with unframed bilingual 'Returned to Writer' h.s. in black. Upon return and resent, another 1.5p. applied cancelled by Hadleigh c.d.s. (12.4.98), after several redirections, it finally arrived Jedburgh (11.4.99). Very fine postcard with interesting redirection and postal route.
