Amoy Agency of the Shanghai Local Post Post Cards 1890 (June) Shanghai 2c. Double Dragon card (PC6) to the German Consulate in Tientsin cancelled by a fine strike of the bilingual double-circle "amoy local post/agency" cancellation in black, Shanghai Local Post c.d.s. (2.6) in greenish blue and "customs/tientsin" (6.6) c.d.s. An exceptionally fine card which clearly shows the three different postmarks on the address side. Thought to be the earliest example of the bilingual postmark. Photo provenance: Wei-liang Chow, November 1996
