Chinese Imperial Post 1 Cent Coiling Dragon Stamp

China · 1900 ·

The stamp features a coiled dragon design, typical of the Chinese Imperial Post issues of the late 19th/early 20th century. It includes Chinese characters for 'Imperial Chinese Post' and the denomination.

These stamps were issued by the Chinese Imperial Post during the late Qing Dynasty, a period of significant foreign influence and internal change in China. Their use on postcards from a French Post Office in China highlights the complex international postal arrangements of the era.
