Lot 1065

1911 England (6 Nov) to postmaster of Gyantse Chinese PO. Registered cover, f.w. KEVII and KGV issue x5, tied by London registered oval d.s. Arrived Gyantse BPO (11 Dec). Showing "PO Closed / Left / Returned to Sender" annotation on front. Forwarded to Indian DLO (2 Feb). Given the Republican revolution, staff of the Imperial Post evacuated. Despite probably philatelic, still a historical cover.

1911.11.6 英國寄江孜中國郵局局長。掛號封，貼愛德華七世及佐治五世票5枚，銷倫敦掛號日戳。12.11經江孜英國客郵局。封面寫有“PO Closed / Left / Returned to Sender”批示。2.2改退印度死信局。由於辛亥革命，大清郵局之職員四散。此封雖應為集郵封，但不失為趣味萬分、歷史意義重大之例子。
