Finland to Chefoo - 1886 Finland UPU PC with Russian transit,
bearing 10 penni red indicium, from Helsingfors to Chefoo, China.
Cancelled by clear HELSINGFORS 24/1/86 cds, with bold Russian
transit in black, showing С.-ПЕТЕРБУРГЪ / 13 ЯНВ. / 1886 / 5. ЭК.
(St. Petersburg, 13 Jan 1886 Julian calendar = 25 Jan Gregorian),
indicating it passed through Russia en route. Transit Hong Kong
with MR 7/86 cds on reverse. During 1880s this Russia route is
highly unusual compared to Marseilles or Triest. Rare thus.

芬蘭寄煙台明信片。先經俄國南下香港，再北轉至煙台。相比起經馬賽或Triest至山東的常見郵路，此片郵路獨特少見，實在難得。
