    1909/11: 10 pa. green on postcard of Khan-el'-Ahmar with private Mission stamp on obverse, the adhesive tied by wonderful strike of oval framed "Jerusalem / Suc. Poste N. d. de France" handstamp (Coles & Walker fig. 35B) in violet (Pilgrim's hospice Notre Dame de France), with further perforated Charity label at left. Minor faults to card but an extraordinarily rare cancellation and very possibly the finest known example. Cert. Nakri AIEP (2018).
