  • 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).

  • British Penny Black, May 6, 1840 by John F
    Historic Events: British Penny Black, May 6, 1840 by John F. Dunn Portions of this article are taken from an article by Philip Ward in the Mekeel’s Weekly of January 1, 1940. History: The Post Office of Great Britain as a state monopoly dates from the time of Queen Elizabeth I, who reigned from 1558 to 1603, although it was not fully established until 1609, and more than two centuries later that Britain became the first nation to issue postage stamps. Great Britain #1 This took place a few years after Queen Victoria acceded to the throne and began her reign of more than 63 years. That year, 1837, was an important one in the events leading up to the issuance, on May 1, 1840 for use starting May 6, 1840, of the world’s first postage stamp, the British Penny Black; for it was in 1837 that the father of the first postage stamp, Sir Rowland Hill, published a pamphlet promoting penny postage and the use of a postage stamp to pay for it. Hill first started showing a serious interest in postal reform in 1835. At that time the need for postal reform was obvious. Not only were the rates complex and the handling of the mail cumbersome—every letter needed to be recorded. In addition, most of the mail was sent unpaid, with the postage cost to be collected from the recipient. At a time when Britain was becoming a far-flung commercial empire, such a system simply did not work. One of those in government who were aware of Hill’s interest in postal reform was Robert Wallace, a member of Parliament, who was a leading advocate for postal reform.

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).
