Wuhu Covers Official Mail 1894 (18 Sept.) envelope to Shanghai "per S.S. 'Tatung'" bearing a superb strike of "PAID" in circle struck in deep ultramarine and, on the reverse, a superb strike of "wuhu/local post" c.d.s. in the same colour with faint Shanghai Local Post arrival (20.9) and postman's pencil delivery characters. There is some minor scuffing on the reverse which does not detract from this stunning and important cover. Thought to be the latest of only two examples. Photo
