Today in Postal History

There's not much to say for this picture postcard posted in Manila.
One wonders what the illustration would have been.

The card was cancelled with a duplex canceller with a CDS, oval barred killer, and date between.
There also appears to be another cancel just off the top
which included a small circle but the content in illegible.

The card was addressed to a Mademoiselle in Brussels.

There are no clear transit or receiving marks.

The stamp is a 10c. deep blue José Rizal of the 1917 series (Scott 294).
