The Penny Postage Jubilee Celebration at Guildhall - A Glimpse into Postal History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, captured by Frederick George Kitton in 1890, takes us back to the grandeur of the Penny Postage Jubilee Celebration held at Guildhall. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with guests from all walks of life, including bellmen, officials, and even an Arabic man symbolizing the global reach of telegraphic operations. The exhibition itself is a treasure trove of post-office relics and portraits that offer a fascinating insight into the evolution of postal services. From old post office timepieces to pillar letter boxes and leather mail carriers' uniforms, every artifact tells a story. Amongst the crowd stands General Gordon himself, an iconic figure associated with penny postage reform. His presence adds gravitas to this momentous occasion as he watches over the festivities alongside other notable figures such as Lord Mayor. The atmosphere is electric as visitors marvel at exhibits from around the world while analyzing each detail meticulously. From London postal directories to fire alarms and even a crate labeled "World Exhibition" there is something for everyone's curiosity. This engraving captures not just an event but also serves as a reminder of how communication has evolved throughout history. It reminds us that behind every letter or package delivered lies centuries of innovation and dedication by countless individuals who have shaped our modern postal service.
