1911 Charleroi Exposition ... April 29, 1911 to November 1, 1911. According to Dr. Wikipedia, the exposition promoted the economic, industrial and cultural achievements of the Walloon Region of Belgium. At the time, due to its industrialization fueled by local deposits of coal and iron, it was the most prosperous region of Belgium.

Postcard: Side A: Cinderella promoting the exposition From Belgium to Montreal, Canada I have always been fond of the Belgian Hand cancellers with the tiny dots at the lower ring, Makes a postmark instantly recognisable as Belgian (Freckles I call them) They exist over a long period 1907-1954 in my collection. They must come from a regular Cancelling hammer producer. That is one area Philately rarely addresses, companies that produced the cancellers, and how they were made.
