    1878 (May 27): Stationery postcard 6 c. rose, sent from Luxemburg and directed to Lichtenstein, Saxonia bearing as additional franking 1875 Arms perforated 2 c. black and 5 c. lemon-yellow, fresh and fine examples, tied by LUXEMBOURG despatch cds. An attractive stationery postcard in the UPU system, full of postal history content, attractive and very rare. Signed E. Diena (1981).rnNote: When Luxemburg joined the GPU later UPU in July 1875, the postcard rate to other member of the postal union was set to half the letter rate abroad, i.e. at 12½ centimes. However, mail to Germany could be sent at a reduced rate of 12½ c. for a single rate letter and 6 c. for a postcard. The present postcard was issued at that rate for exactly this purpose and shows the imprint "Nach Deutschland / Pour Allemagne". Why the sender decided to uprate this card to approximately the general postcard rate is not clear.
