In \u003cstrong\u003e1890\u003c\/strong\u003e – still in the \u003cstrong\u003eBismarck era\u003c\/strong\u003e and before the establishment of the Kiautschou leased territory (1898) – Shanghai was the most important German trading post in China. Mail posted there was marked with special \u003cstrong\u003eGerman foreign post cancellations\u003c\/strong\u003e, which today are among the rarest and most sought-after pieces of German \u003cstrong\u003ecolonial and foreign philately\u003c\/strong\u003e. Shanghai cancellations of the Imperial German Post from 1890 are older and rarer than the more well-known Kiautschou cancellations (from 1898) and are highly desired by international specialist collectors of China and colonial philately.
