Today in Postal History
There's not much to say for this picture postcard posted in
Manila.
One wonders what the illustration would have been.
The card was cancelled with a duplex canceller with a CDS,
oval barred killer, and date between.
There also appears to be another cancel just off the top
which included a small circle but the content in illegible.
The card was addressed to a Mademoiselle in Brussels.
There are no clear transit or receiving marks.
The stamp is a 10c. deep blue José
Rizal of the 1917 series (Scott 294).
