Default London fancy cancel

Good evenings,


Here are scans of the letter card.


Inside (2cd scan), references to "Cricket news" and "Strand magazine"


Sent together ?




Possibly, that would explain the cancel if handed in at a 'newspaper'

receiving window together with the magazine.



Interestingly, this was posted in the 5th month of the reduced cost

"Imperial Penny Post", that having been established on 25th December,

1898.



Very nice specialist item!


Thank you very much for these informations.
Understanding a postal item is always interesting.
I'll keep this letter card in my "unusual things album" rather than in a shoe box.
Best regards,
