Seller's Description
Condition: mint.
Publisher: The British Postal Museum and Archive.
Year: 2005.
Publisher's Reference:
Seller's Reference: BX/PC/014.
Additional descriptive notes (if applicable): the postcards depict:
Postcard 1: An example of a General Post Office safety poster from the mid 1970's. It was aimed at staff of Travelling Post Offices, who clearly liked to aim elastic bands at one another.
Postcard 2: An original poster design for the GPO Film Unit documentary Night Mail. It was designed by Pat Keely in 1939. Night Mail celebrates the work of the Travelling Post Offices - mail trains speeding through the countryside - collecting, sorting and dropping off mail as they go.
Postcard 3: Illustration from a General Post Office pamphlet of 1939 entiled Rules for Working Lineside Mail Apparatus. Pamphlets like these were used to instruct Travelling Post Office and apparatus officers how to carry out their duties correctly.
Postcard 4: Illustration of an early Parcel Sorting Van from the end of the 19th century. This model was scrapped in 1926. Parcel sorting on the move began on 1 July 1885 with the introduction of the 'Postal Specials.'
General notes: in addition to postage my shipping charges include a handling and packing charge. My basic charges for this item are shown on the sales page. However, postage, processing and packing charges for multiple purchases will be combined and will be based upon the actual cost of despatching a package containing all the items bought. Purchasers who buy more than one item should ensure that they request an invoice, so that they benefit from the consolidated charge for postage and packing.
