A very nice postage stamp

This postcard depicting Bac Ninh Cathedral as seen from the citadel is fairly unremarkable.

Poste rurale Bac Ninh

But if you look at the top left, it has a postmark of interest to philatelists.

It’s a rural postmark, bilingual French, Vietnamese.
Not easy to find, but a nice collection. You may have some.

Look at your cards, sort and if so, send the scan to Cartacaro, we’ll publish ...
