The stamp was cancelled with a half-cut small round Shanghai postmark, and it was transferred through the Shanghai I.J.P.O., with a Kobe, Japan arrival postmark. The Y-X measurement is 2.5mm, meaning the top edge of the postal sign on the right was 2.5mm higher than the top edge of the French text. This is a very important special format of the Qing Dynasty fourth series postal card. There are only six known examples of this distance difference in existence. It is rare to find this special format on an actual mailing. 

the card was affixed with a 1-cent coiling dragon stamp, seven 2-cents coiling dragon stamps, and a four-cent dragon stamp.

The back of the postal card was cancelled with a Beijing Chinese-English half-cut round postmark and a Peking French P.O. round postmark (5 Jul 1909). When the card arrived at the Beijing post office, the staff noticed that an additional sheet with written content had been affixed to the back of the postal card. Therefore, it had to be sent back to the Zhangjiakou post office and an additional 6-cent charge was levied (increasing from the original four-cent overseas postal card rate to the normal 10-cent international letter rate). Thus, a four-cent stamp and a two-cent stamp were affixed at the lower left corner, partially covering the Kalgan registration mark, and cancelled with another set of Kalgan lunar year cds (the fifth month, 16th day).
