This is a 1 penny red postal stationery card issued under the Universal Postal Union regulations by Great Britain, specifically designed for international correspondence. The card features an imprinted stamp from the Jubilee Issue with a profile of Queen Victoria and carries the heading “UNION POSTALE UNIVERSELLE / POST CARD – GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND” in red, with text in English and French. Postmarked in Liverpool on January 19, 1893, and addressed to Kalmar, Sweden, it represents the global reach of British commerce and postal efficiency in the late 19th century. The message, written in Swedish by a representative of Brodersen, Vaughan & Co., requests philatelic cooperation—offering to purchase or exchange stamps. The card’s philatelic interest is further heightened by the clarity of the Liverpool cancellation, the pristine condition of the imprinted stamp, and the cross-cultural postal usage. It is catalogued as Scott GB-UX5, with similar listings in Higgins & Gage as GB-A5. Estimate "$50 – 75"
