Now this card was issued long before the internet and social media entered our lives and took it over. However it is a perfect envisionment thereof, showing a person gazing through a window and seeing great wonders.
So our final little reflection on social media kindness day is to appreciate what we are now allowed to do, not just take it for granted, or waste those times that could give pleasure on making others sad, or scared. After all, through its windows we can see wonders of the natural or manufactured universe, go to places we will never be able to visit, and gain a glimpse into other lives right across the world.
Our original World Tobacco Issues Index describes this set as "CHINESE SERIES (A). Sm. Gilt framelines, white borders. Unnd (30) See X21/530-19"
That X-ref goes to the back of the same book, where you get a slightly longer inscription;
X21/530-19 CHINESE SERIES. Small size, 63 x 36 m/m. Back in blue with illustration of “Peacock” packet. Front in colour. Unnumbered series of 30. Illustrated in X21/530-19. Issued by Murai.
Actually this illustration is of the set, but it is fiendishly dark. That usually means it came from elsewhere though, so I will have a fossick and see if I can find it.
By the time of our updated World Tobacco Issues Index it describes the set as just "CHINESE SERIES (A). Sm. 63 x 36-37. Gilt framelines, white borders. Unnd (30) See RB21/530-19"
However that RB21/530-19 is obviously in the updated British American Tobacco book, as the last entry in my 1952 version is, very annoyingly, 530-18.
