Shenzhen Grand View Conjoined Stamped Post Card (PR China) (boxed)
Please read what we wrote for item 20307386 (in the PR China category), then imagine all of those cards attached as one very long horizontal card. They (it) are in this hard box, measuring 6-1/4″ x 8-3/4″ x 1″. Inside the box, an ornate certificate (all in Chinese) and the “card” itself, in foldout format, with a nice introduction in English explaining that this extraordinary card is crafted from a scroll painting “which takes cityscape as the creation subject in Chinese history.” The scroll itself is 18 meters long and 0.85 meters wide; the card is not that long of course, but “starts from Dapeng Peninsula in Longgang Town in the east, and Baoan International Airport in the west.” The card is the length of 19 normal postcards. Grade: 1
