The history of the post office from its establishment down to 1836
A history of the British postal service from its origins to 1836, written by Herbert Joyce and published in London in 1893 by R. Bentley & Son for readers interested in postal history. The pictures are small black-and-white line drawings: heart and triangular postal marks from the early post, and a galloping mounted courier blowing a horn, with a designer able to draw on the cut-out silhouette style and the simple stamp shapes for vintage mail motifs.
