UPU Postal Card to Constantinople

UPU Postal Card to Constantinople

Here is a very scarce and unusual UPU card and destination, this being the ancient Byzantine capital.

The receiver reads as the British 'Constantinople' instead of Ottoman 'Istanbul'. Furthermore, the country is interestingly identified as 'Turkey-in-Asia'. The card also exhibits a nice U.S. consulate docketing receiver.
