Overview

From an original publicity photograph showing the postal service at work

This beautiful black & white greetings cards features a photograph from The Royal Mail Archive. The photographs were originally commissioned as publicity material for the General Post Office in the 1930s: charmingly staged images from a bygone era, and ideal for getting in touch today.

This card shows a postman on his bicycle, 1938.

The card measures 172×125 mm, and is blank inside for your own message.

You can view these images in our current photo exhibition The Post Office in Pictures  at The Lumen in London from 19 May - 31 August 2012.
