This 1910 military postcard from the French Post Office in China features a romantic illustration of a dreaming Geisha, underscoring the exoticism that captivated Western audiences in the early 20th century. The postcard is postmarked from the Arsenal of the French Corps d'Occupation de Chine, a military garrison established following the Boxer Rebellion to assert French presence in the region. It is franked with a 5 centimes stamp from the 1902 Type Blanc definitive issue, printed in blue-green and designed by Émile Thomas and Joseph Blanc. The stamp showcases allegorical figures and classical motifs, emblematic of the mythological and estate-themed iconography prevalent in French colonial postal design. Produced by the Imperial Printing Office in Paris using typography, the stamp measures 20 x 24 mm and features a comb perforation of 14 x 13½. This issue is listed as Michel FR-CH 19, Scott FR-CH 34, Yvert et Tellier FR-CH 23, and Stanley Gibbons FR-CH 37a. The cancel from the Arsenal is legible and well-placed, contributing to the historical and philatelic value of the piece. Estimate "$90 – 120".
