Summary

Description
English: Stamp China 1910 2 cent. The 2c blue-green of the 1898 series was first issued in 1910, one of the last stamps of Imperial China (
中文:p=Dàqīngguó t=大淸國
Great Qing Land)

The revolution of 1911 resulted in overprints on the imperial stamps in 1912;

  • at Foochow to indicate that the post office was effectively a neutral area available to both sides, and
  • at Nanking and Shanghai reading "Republic of China" (from top to bottom:
    中文:t=中華民國
    ).
An additional set of overprints was produced by Waterlow and Sons in London, and postmasters throughout the country made their own unofficial overprints using the same characters.
