f.w. a single CIP 1c paying the domestic letter rate, tied by a two-section, three-line framed tombstone handstamp of “樂山縣郵政分局”, the strike bearing engraved Kwanghsu reign date inscription but with the date unfilled. Arrived at Peking on Jan 4, on reverse with Peking bisected and “京都前門外打磨廠郵政分局” arrival. A fine and early example of Szechwan postal usage during the late Ching Imperial Post period, ex Wang Kize collection.
