Description

In December 1908, Zaitao was made an acting junwang (second-rank prince), even though nominally he still remained as a
beile

zongsi jicha
(總司稽察; a type of inspector-official). A year later, during the reign of the Xuan Tong Emperor, Zaitao was put in charge of the Military Consultancy (軍諮處). In 1910, he visited eight countries – Japan, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Russia – to observe and learn from their more advanced armed forces. This postcard commemorates his visit to the French Cavalry School at Saumur in France on 23 May 1910.
