This military-themed postcard from Japan, sent in 1907 via Yokohama and addressed to France, showcases a photographic view of the Nagasaki Fortress Battalion, an installation of notable strategic importance during Japan’s Meiji modernization era. The card is franked with multiple definitive stamps from the Chrysanthemum series, specifically the ½ sen gray and 1 sen brown denominations. Issued in 1899, this series was designed by Tomazo Saito and typographically printed, featuring stylized imperial chrysanthemums, symbolizing the emperor and national authority. Each stamp measures 21 x 26 mm and was printed on white wove paper with a range of perforation gauges. The stamps belong to Japan’s late Meiji period and were in use during a time of rapid military and infrastructural expansion, reflecting both national pride and modernization. Listed across standard catalogs as Michel JP 75–76, Scott JP 92–93, Yvert et Tellier JP 94–95, Stanley Gibbons JP 133–134, and Sakura JP 102–103, this piece carries cultural, philatelic, and historical value. Condition: Fine used with crisp violet Yokohama CDS cancellations and clean address panel. Estimate "$85 – 110"
