EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases a distinguished figure from the 19th century, Sir Rowland Hill. The portrait captures the essence of this remarkable innovator who revolutionized the world of postal services. Born on December 3,1795, in Bath, Sir Rowland Hill dedicated his life to transforming the way mail was delivered. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Sir Rowland Hill's significant contribution - the introduction of penny postage. This groundbreaking concept allowed individuals to send letters at an affordable price, regardless of distance. His visionary idea not only made communication more accessible but also laid the foundation for modern postal systems worldwide. The engraving portrays Sir Rowland Hill with an air of authority and wisdom befitting his accomplishments. With his notable title as Knight Commander (KCB) and numerous accolades under his belt, he became a symbol of progress and innovation during his time. Tragically, this great mind left us on August 27,1879; however, his legacy lives on through every letter sent across borders today. This image serves as a testament to Sir Rowland Hill's indelible mark on history - forever remembered as one of humanity's greatest pioneers in postal services. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this print is a reminder that even small ideas can have monumental impacts when driven by determination and ingenuity.
