Overview

Even prior to the creation of the Public Relations Department in 1934, there was a vast amount of publicity generated with regard to 'Christmas arrangements' for the postal service. This included leaflets, press adverts and notices in several different sizes, meant for display in post offices on pillar boxes and on mail vans. From its creation the Public Relations Department assumed responsibility for the Christmas campaigns, adopting the slogan 'Post Early for Christmas'. In addition to the traditional means of advertising, they commissioned famous artists to produce eye catching posters for display in post offices, on pillar boxes and telephone kiosks, on mail vans and in shop windows.

This stamp sheet, limited to 500 copies, shows a collection of the Post Early advertising campaign materials.
