This handstamp bears the signature of Anthony Trollope, who became a famous novelist.
A signature stamp is a good way to save time for someone with numerous documents to sign.
Trollope worked for the Post Office for 33 years. He began in the Secretary's Office in 1834. After seven years, he became a clerk's surveyor in Ireland.
He spent a lot of time travelling around, working for the Post Office and writing his novels. Our collection also contains a writing slope belonging to Trollope.
