3 Aug 1910, a small place of Fukian, Kansu to Belgium via Siberian route for the use of C.I.P. 4th series stationery card.

3 Aug 1910, a C.I.P. 4th series stationery card sent from Fukiang, Kansu Province to Belgium, uprated with one 3-cent Husan Tung stamp and cancelled by two all-Chinese waist-frame c.d.s. from Fukiang, Kansu. Additionally, there are postmarks from Chinchow bilingual waist-frame c.d.s. (Day 23rd of the seventh month, lunar year Gengxu), Sian bilingual waist-frame c.d.s (12th of the seventh month). There are also transit d.s. from Tientsin and its French P.O., plus Belgium arrival c.d.s. (6 Sep 10).  A small place of Fukiang in Kansu and thus rare.  Same as the previous lot, this one sent from Fukiang, but it took a much shorter horizon to Europe by taking the Siberian route.
