EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic print showcases a Christmas postage notice from December 9,1890. The colourful lithograph was created by the English School in the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. The poster, printed for Her Majesty's Stationery Office by W P Griffith & Sons, Ld in London, captures the essence of the holiday season with its festive design. It served as an official announcement by command of the Postmaster General, ensuring that everyone was aware of important postal information during this special time of year. Intricate details can be observed within this ephemera piece; it features letters piled up alongside newspapers and other mail-related items. This imagery reflects the bustling activity at post offices during Christmas as people eagerly sent their greetings to loved ones near and far. The significance of this notice extends beyond borders as it highlights Germany's connection to Europe through its mention of German culture and traditions. With references to North Germany and Germanic influences, it serves as a reminder that even in distant lands, Christmas unites people across different nations. This print not only offers a glimpse into Victorian-era communication but also evokes nostalgia for simpler times when handwritten letters were cherished treasures exchanged between friends and family during the holiday season.
