This original postcard was mailed on March 25, 1913, from the German post office in Tsingtau, Kiautschou, featuring a tied 2-cent stamp from the colonial "Kaiser's Yacht" series. Printed in carmine red, the stamp belongs to the final oversea definitives issued for German territories in China. Designed to symbolize imperial power, the yacht SMY Hohenzollern served as a visual stand-in for the Emperor’s support. The card is postmarked "TSINGTAU-KIAUTSCHOU DEUTSCHE POST", a rare and historic usage from the naval enclave seized by Germany in 1898 and later surrendered to Japan in 1914. The item provides an evocative relic of German colonial presence in East Asia, reflecting geopolitical ambitions and their eventual dissolution during World War I. Postcard shows light aging with full legible cancellation and stamp intact. Estimate "$85 – 110"
