cover 1894 (28 Dec.) small, opened-out envelope to Shanghai bearing 2ca. green tied by Tientsin seal in blue, the reverse shows a good strike of "CUSTOMS/TIENTSIN" c.d.s. in blue, clearly showing the despatch date, partly overstruck by Customs Shanghai c.d.s. with a faint strike of the Shanghai local c.d.s. A very early date for a Dowager cover, all 1894 covers are highly prized. Photo
