Eight Cash...thin card ..1889 with delivery cancel on the reverse.

22 July 1889...Eight Cash...'thin' post card written from Mulagumudu, posted from Colachel (as there is no Travancore post office then, in Mulagumudu. ..only British India post office) to Puthukkada, but was undelivered at Puthukkada (cancel not seen), probably the recipient Priest was at Kuzhithura (Kuzhithura cancel seen on the reverse).

 Another interesting fact is that it was delivered on the same day itself (22 July 1889), probably by the same Runner mail man, who must have found en-route, that the Priest is not at Puthukkada, have taken it straight to Kuzhithura. 

What is unusual, the delivery franking are seen on the reverse, instead of the obverse of the post card. Very rarely, delivery franking are seen on the reverse, rather than on the obverse...and it is mandatory that it should be on the face of the card.

Travancore first issued stamps & cards in October 1888.
