Buy stamps in books

Peter Huveneers created a number of designs for the Post Office during the 1950s. Some, like this poster, advertised products and services. In it he uses a comic character to promote the sale of stamps in books.

Sales of stamps in books had decreased since 1944, and the years 1957 and 1958 saw a particular decline. The November 1958 edition of the Post Office Circular stated that it should be put on display in all Crown Offices after the Christmas period.
