China 1895, Wuhu Treaty Port issue from the first Postage Due series, features a 1 Chinese cent denomination printed in brown with a black “Postage Due” overprint. Lithographed by the Shanghai Lithographic Society, the design incorporates traditional Chinese stylistic elements with a bird motif, reflecting both symbolic and aesthetic preferences of the era. This issue was created to serve local postal accounting under the Wuhu foreign settlement’s semi-autonomous postal authority. The stamp is cataloged as Scott WU 55, Michel CN-WU P4A, and Stanley Gibbons CN-WU D35. The example is mint hinged, exhibiting full original gum, fresh color, and clean margins, with fine centering typical for this locally produced series. Estimate "$85 – 100"
