拍品描述： 1895年5月25日西非Gold Coast 寄重庆外来封, 贴Gold Coast 2½ 便士票一枚, 销德国汽轮/汉堡/西非日戳, 到重庆时于信封左上端补贴重庆玫红色银贰分票, 销1895年9月2日紫色长方框型中英文日戳, 旁盖相似的9月2日方框型重庆信局宜昌分局中英文日戳, 在封背盖7月31日香港, 8月5日上海英国客邮局, 8月9日及8月12自汉口海关等中转戳; 信封上只有轻微的摺痕, 对这件重要及罕见的信封来说, 可算是微不足道; 可以相信这是目前唯一由西非经由上海邮政系统而送递到商埠的外来封.Chungking Postage Dues Covers 1895 (25 May) envelope from Gold Coast to Chungking bearing Gold Coast 2½d. (corner missing) tied by a fine strike of "deutsche seepost/linie/hamburg-/westafrika" with 2ca. rose-red Postage Due tied by Chungking oblong datestamp of 1895 (2 Sept.) with the similar for Ichang (2.9) alongside. Bearing, on the reverse, Hong Kong (31.7), British Post Office Shanghai (5.8) and light strikes of Customs Hankow (9.8) and (12.8) in blue. There is a light vertical crease and a repair along the top of the envelope, but these barely detract from this highly important cover. This is thought to be the only cover from Gold Coast to any of the Treaty Ports in the Shanghai Postal System. Photo
