  • Mulready Stationery
    BRITISH PHILATELIC BULLETIN is for... Mulready stationery Colin Baker charts the brief life of William Mulready’s illustrated envelopes, commissioned to grace the first ever prepaid stationery of 1840 One of the innovations that came with the postal reforms of 1840 was the introduction of prepaid envelopes and letter sheets; the Id values were printed in black and the 2d values in blue. These could be used for letters sent anywhere in the L K, weighing up to half an ounce and one ounce respectively. Neither the envelopes nor the letter sheets were gummed (it would be another five to ten years before that was possible) and they had to be folded by hand and sealed with a blob of wax or fastened with a wafer seal - a small piece of paper carrying a design or message that was stuck over the point of the flap to hold it in place. They were launched on the same day the new Id and 2d adhesive stamps - the famous Penny Black and Twopenny Blue - came into use. It was assumed that the convenience of Fig 1 prepaid stationery would make it an instantly popular choice. So, while the printed envelopes and letter sheets were stocked in large numbers at every post office, the adhesive stamps were harder to find - on the issue date of 6 May 1840, there were only limited supplies of the Penny Black and none at all of the Twopenny Blue. The stationery was illustrated by William Mulready, a talented artist and member of the Royal Academy, influenced by Rowland Hill and Henry Cole (the two men in charge of introducing the postal reforms).

  • Mrs Bikbeck's Album
    1 MRS BIRKBECK’S ALBUM: THE HAND-WRITTEN AND THE PRINTED IN EARLY NINETEENTH-CENTURY FEMININE CULTURE Patrizia Di Bello, Birkbeck On the 25th December 1826, George Birkbeck, successful doctor, busy lecturer and founder of the London Mechanics’ Institution (now Birkbeck College),1 wrote a long letter to John Britton, antiquary and lecturer on the history of architecture at the Institution. My dear Sir, In consequence of your recommendation of Mr Behnes as an artist, I gave him at some inconvenience a great number of sittings. […] In the course of his visits Mrs Birkbeck spoke of her Album, in which he undertook to induce some of his poetical friends to write and for which purpose he took the book with him […]. Subsequently Mrs Birkbeck has wanted the book, which is of some value especially as containing some contributions from her friends, and has written to him for it without effect. I have also written and received no answer, and we have sent a messenger about half a dozen times in vain, and our only hope of recovering the book rests in your kind interference, as he probably will not run the risk of losing your friendship by such obstinate conduct.2 Mrs Birkbeck recovered her album and carried on working on it into her old age. It is now a rare example of an early-nineteenth-century album to survive intact and with a well-documented provenance.3 Recently rediscovered in the archives of Birkbeck College, and now valuable especially for an unpublished manuscript poem by Mary Shelley, the album has been described as ‘a fascinating insight

If you would like to know more or join our local Stamp Club contact [email protected] 2 A History of the Post Office in Havant Robert Walker Introduction This article is based on a talk given to the Havant Local History Group, a sub- group of the Friends of Havant Museum, in November 2013. The topic was chosen primarily because it lent itself to some then-and-now photographs, and was felt by the writer to be intrinsically of interest. It turned out to be highly topical, too, given the privatisation of the Royal Mail in Autumn 2013. In compiling this article, and the talk from which it derived, the writer was dependent on two principal sources: for the general history of the Post Office, Getting the message across: The Story of the British Post Office, by Christopher Browne (Alan Sutton, 1993); and for Havant-related information, The Making of Havant No 1 (Havant Local History Group).
