Postcard 1910 Dover Esplanade Promenade Pier England Used Luxembourg KE7 1d

Dover, England, UK1910Pre-linenGood

A dapper Edwardian gentleman in a boater hat strolls Dover's breezy seafront esplanade while bathers and day-trippers dot the shingle beach below, the elegant iron promenade pier stretching into the Channel and the chalk-white cliffs crowned by the ancient keep of Dover Castle looming magnificently above — one of England's most iconic coastal panoramas rendered in vivid early color lithography. What elevates this card to genuine collector interest is its destination: addressed in French to "Monsieur Muller Thill" at Fischbach in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, with a warm message signed simply and dated via a Dover machine cancel of September 1910, the writer sending "mes meilleures salutations" from the famous port. A King Edward VII 1d red stamp — Scott Great Britain #128 — ties the cancel.
