EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of communications in London. Taken at the corner of Fleet Street and Farringdon Street, it showcases one of the first letter boxes ever erected in the city. The wood engraving, originally featured in The Illustrated London News on 24 March 1855, transports us back to a time when mail was an essential means of communication. The image depicts a quaint wooden box standing proudly on the bustling street corner. Its presence symbolizes progress and convenience as it offered locals a convenient way to send and receive letters without having to visit the post office directly. This innovation revolutionized how people communicated with each other, making mail delivery more accessible and efficient than ever before. Looking closely at this historic scene, we can almost imagine individuals eagerly dropping their carefully penned letters into this novel contraption. It serves as a reminder of how far our methods of communication have come since those early days. As we admire this wood engraving from 1855, let us appreciate its significance in shaping Britain's postal system and ultimately transforming global communications.
