This may be the largest number of different stamps (7) we’ve ever seen on a postcard, and the postmark over just one of them is a brilliant, clear red. You’ll need to know Chinese to make out the caption, but Wenzhou is one of those large Chinese cities you don’t know: a port and industrial city in Zhejiang Province, straddling the Oujiang River, on the East China Sea.
