  • Inside of a Chinese Theatre

    This is just a wonderful card, produced by Universal Postcard & Picture Co. in Shanghai (#284), unused, mildly aged, and with so much in it. There is a red caption along the top front but it blends in to the background and is hard to read unless you’re right on the card. Grade: 2

  • Shanghai, harbour

    The caption calling Shanghai “the most busiest international harbour in Orient” may not be strictly true now, but anyone who has seen the city in the past few years cannot dispute that it is “the most” in many ways. Unused card,  Grade: 1

    As many people know, Shanghai went through a striking evolutionary period.  Yesterday’s postcards are already history.  This is an unopened set of 12, and our scan shows you thumbnail photos of those cards — as of that moment.  It’s a set from 2024.  Grade: 1

  • Shanghai, the money changer

    The strange thing about this unused card is that it looks like a cheap reproduction of an original photo–but it’s not, it’s really the original, in B&W and on a flimsy paper stock. Still, the photo is great, with lots of advertising signs, as you can see. Album indents on reverse corners. A Taisho card. Grade: 1

    If cards could talk.  Though this one has a few creases and bruises, it was after all mailed from Shanghai in 1939 with stamp and large, full postmark, from a recovering gentleman to Miss Fullerton in Hong Kong.  So much of Shanghai has changed.  But this scene, somehow, lives on.  Grade: 3+
