Celebrating a Milestone in Communication History: The Penny Post Jubilee of 1890 This Penny Post Jubilee card, issued in 1890, commemorates the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Penny Post, a groundbreaking innovation in communication that revolutionized the way people connected with each other. Sir Rowland Hill, a visionary postal reformer, is depicted at the top left, proudly overseeing the celebration. The Penny Post, established in 1840, was a significant achievement in the history of postal services. It allowed people to send letters and cards for just one penny, making mail communication accessible to the masses. This affordable postage rate transformed the way people communicated, leading to an explosion in the volume of mail sent and received. The Penny Post Jubilee card is a testament to the enduring impact of this communication milestone. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the poster-like design showcase the excitement and pride felt by the British public in celebrating this momentous occasion. The card's ornate border and the regal image of Queen Victoria, who reigned during the Penny Post's inception, further emphasize the importance of this historical event. As we appreciate the convenience and speed of modern communication methods, it's essential to remember the origins of this transformative innovation. This Penny Post Jubilee card serves as a reminder of the profound impact that the Penny Post had on the world and the enduring power of communication to bring people closer together.
