Distinguishing Feature
As in the London Printing, there is a fringe below the curved frame with six chinese characters. In the First Peking Printing, these lines are longer and also thicker, therefore appearing to be closer together. If in doubt, examine the bridge carrying the train, in particular the bridge supports, which resemble an 'm'. The left side of the 'm' at the extreme left of the stamp usually appears weak and short in the London printing but longer and stronger in the First Peking issue.
