A HISTORY OF BRITISH POSTMARKS.

------4------

W e have nearly arrived at the end of the nineteenth century, and never in the history of the world has there been such a rage for collecting as now. During the past fifty years what has not been collected would be a puzzle to say, the most unaccountable tastes being displayed in the acquisition of articles apparently worthless. It is needless to attempt an enumeration of the various subjects which interest collectors, and to suggest what will be the next to attract the curious is very difficult ; but I may remark, that for the number of its votaries, the collection of postage- stamps takes the lead of all others. This may be ex­ plained by the fact that it is a hobby which nearly every schoolboy has taken up during the last twenty years or more, from whom have developed the ad­ vanced collectors of the present day. But although for upwards of fifty years the adhesive stamps have been looked upon as worthy of interest, it is only of recent date that the marks impressed on letters by the postal authorities began to be sought after. Two of the first to devote time to the acquisition of postmarks were Mr. Joseph Alien, of Armagh, and в 2 A HISTORY OP BRITISH POSTMARKS.

Mr. Thomas Gosse, of Bath (now deceased), who were collecting them previously to 1870. They were unacquainted with each other, and it was not until 1883 that two zealous collectors, Mr. R. D. Mattley, ' of Rochdale, and Mr. T. St. L. Stephenson, of Blair­ more, Scotland, and Reading, Berkshire, originated the idea of associating in club form all interested in this particular hobby. These to the number of about twenty they succeeded, after considerable trouble, in uniting in what is now known as the Postmark Club, the purpose of the club being the exchange of dupli­ cates. Though several years have elapsed, the members are not so numerous as might be expected, although the collecting of postmarks is gradually gaining ground as a pursuit. That its advancement is slow is, I believe, owing to the fact that few people understand or appreciate the interest attached to these marks, and it is with the object of making it more widely known that I purpose giving a brief history of British postmarks, and illustrating the changes that have taken place in the past two hundred years. It is not my intention to deal with the history of the Post Office, as that subject has already been dealt with by Herbert Joyce, Esq., C.B., in “ The History of the Post Office,” and by Frederick E. Baines, Esq., C.B., in “ Forty Years at the Post Office,” both of which give very interesting and excellent accounts of that institution. , In the following articles I shall endeavour, to the best of my ability, to describe and illustrate the various changes in Postmarks that have taken place in the past two hundred years. The types shown are by no means exhaustive ; many trivial varieties I have not troubled about, and there are, doubtless, numerous types which have not come under mý notice. The descriptions I have tried to keep as nearly in chrono- A HISTORY OF BRITISH POSTMARKS. 3 logical order аз possible ; it being, however, very difficult to fix dates in many cases, as some places had certain types in use years before others. In submitting these articles to the public, I mnst ask them to overlook all shortcomings, which doubt­ less are many, as throughout I have had no help, and only taken the illustrations from my own collection. In the following descriptions, where colour is not mentioned, it may be taken for granted that black is generally used. In the illustrations the “ Entires” have, with one exception, been reduced to two-thirds their natural size. All other illustrations are full size.

PART I.

THE POSTKAHKS OF EHGLAHD AJSTD WALES. The introduction of the system of impressing letters with marks by the postal authorities began in 1660. The earliest I have met with is contained on a letter written in London on Nov. 19th, 1666. The mark No. 1, a circular one, containing in the upper half the letters NO for November, and in the lower the day 20 of the month. This was only used in London, the provin­ cial towns adopting it later. The head Na L office, and the only one at this date, was in Lombard Street, the same spot being occupied by a part of the present office in the same street, I understand. в 9 4 A HISTOBY OP BBITI8H POSTMARKS.

These franta were a privilege amongst peers and Members of Parliament for sending letters free through the General, not Local, post by simply writing the address and their signature in the comer. A HISTORY OP^ BRITISH POSTMARKS. 5

In 1680 William Dockwra started in London the first Penny Post, and he is also credited with the in­ troduction of postmarks, which latter is not strictly correct, as I have entire letters containing undoubted marks impressed by the General Post fifteen years

previously. The General Post and the Penny Post, at this time were two distinct establishments ; the former having one receiving office only in Lombard Street, the lowest charge being 4d. for fifteen miles ; while the latter had 700 receiving houses in London and suburbs, this being only a local post. No. 5 is the type of mark used, as copied from the “ History of the Post Office,” which appears to be 6 A HISTORY OP BRITISH POSTMARKS. taken from a book written by Tho. De Laune, Gent., entitled “ The Present State of London,” 1681. The contemporary woodcuts in this book of the marks used " * by Dockwra the two N’s in PENNY are joined, making it ap­ pear as one letter, viz., NN. No. 6 is from the “ Mirror,” voi. 1,1840, and described as being the type of mark used by Dockwra, the letter­ ing of each being dis­ tinctly different. From a catalogue issued by a stamp dealer under letter-sheets prior to 1840, is “ Dockwra’s Post,” PENY POST PAYD triangular black, the earliest known cut square (1680). £25 is asked for this ouriosity, which ' tallys with No. 6 ; but as there seems to be a difference in the lettering from the two different sources, how is it possible to fix the date as early as suggested when No. 7 is taken from a letter dated 1788, aud if cut square I might readily as­ sert that it was one of the earlier date? I have never seen one of the original early marks, and the specimen from which my illustration was taken is A HISTORY OÇ BRITISH POSTMARKS. 7

100 years after. By this date an Act of Parliament had been passed (in 1765), by which letters were carried one stage for Id., two stages for 2d., &c. (the stage was an undefined limit).

1807, to June, 1814. The destination of thie letter was Chelsea, which at that time was in the Three­ penny Post limit, to which an ordinary franked letter would not cover, the Postmaster-General alone being possessed of this privilege. The album from which this was extracted, was a collection formed many years ago by a late Bishop of Peterborough, who had written opposite the above in pencil, the following words: “ Lord Sandwich, Post­ master General, the only person who free’s letters thro’ the Twopenny Post.” This was evidently an error, as Chelsea was then in the Three penny Post limit ; the Twopenny Post was converted into a Three penny Post in 1805, and lasted till 1831, if not later.

It is a very difficult matter to understand the working of these two separate postal establishments, each having its own receiving- offices, etc. ; even the postmen being uniformed quite distinctly, the Twopenny postmen wearing blue uni­ forms and the General postmen scarlet. The amalga­ mation of the two bodies took place 1854-55. The whole of the postal business is now conducted by the G.P.O.

The postmark used to cancel the stamp is known as the Maltese Cross, This was used throughout Great Britain and Ireland until 1844. There are several varieties with, trivial alterations to be found : with dot in centre, straight outer lines, and thick or thin lines. This mark was first used with red ink, but, on account of the ease with which the colour was removed from the stamps so that they could be used again, the colour was changed to black. Other colours are supposed to have been used, but whether they are authenticated I cannot say, or whether the changes noticed is due to chemical action from various causes. No. 97a.

A circular stamp ; the post-town DUBLIN forming the curved top, and 1860 the bottom, the spaces at sides being filled up by two single curved fines ; inside the circle are 5 and ‘JA.8.

Scotland and Ireland are so few, that they have been included (under their respective headings) with the English and Welsh, at the end of that series ; as it is only Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dublin that would have any special marks for particular service. PART IL

LIST OF OBLITERATION'S Used in Great Britain and certain Colonial Possessions, Ac., from their Introduction in 1844 to Present Time.

The first list published was that in 1844, officially, and after that issued in the first six numbers of the “ British Postal Guide” for public use, during the latter half of 1856 and the whole of 1857. Since then separate lists have been issued officially in 1875, 1885, and 1892. I have in my possession a printed list, with illus­ trations of obliterating stamps then in use, of those of Great Britain, corrected to the 1st June, 1845, published in a London and Brighton Directory of that date. In the original list— that of 1844— which finishes at No. 936, the numbers which were composed of 0, 1, 6, 8, 9, or commencing with 1, 8, 9, were generally omitted from their similarity in an inverted position. For example, 119 was not used, but 611 was. Since the above date all numbers have been used ; the unused numbers left over from 1844 were, with few exceptions, all in use in 1874. The obliterations in use in 1844 were of type No. 101 (see “ History of Postmarks” ), the post-town name being mostly printed on the back of envelope ; the later types to 1860 were Nos. 145 to 149, and after 1860 Nos. 152 to 157-198-199. The changes that have taken place with some numbers are very interesting : for instance, No. 647 was in 1844 used in Robertsbridge, Sussex ; in 1864 the number was vacant, and in 1885 I find it is LIST OF OBLITERATIONS. 107

transferred to Southfield, Jamaica; and again, No. 046 was Aldershot Camp in 1844, was transferred to No. 96 in 1874 (in use still), which number was formerly used at Stickney ; and No. 046 was vacant in 1874, and used at Trawsfynydd 1885. There is no doubt that these duplex marks are becoming rapidly displaced by easier and equally effective methods of stamping by single stamps, such as Nos. 193-195, 205, 206. Respecting the Scotch series, the same remark re- gardinguseof figures in numbers applies to these aswell. I am very much in doubt whether all the higher numbers after about 450 really exist as dupleţ marks, for there seems, according to my own observations, a scarcity of those, as I have only met with a very few after that number. The Scotch duplex marks have been, and are rapidly being superseded by the combina­ tion post-town and number in a circle, as No. 330, which is probably the only way in which the majority of the higher numbers were used. The alterations with the numbers to various post­ towns are very curious in the earlier series, and seem to me to be quite unaccountable. In the Irish series the same omission of numbers occurs as that previously noted. One of the most im­ portant alterations which took place is that of No. 157, which in the original fist is Cove, and was altered after the Queen’s visit to Ireland, when she landed at the Cove of Cork, on August 3rd, 1849 ; it was named by her, Queenstown, which name occurs in the next list. Another alteration worth noting is that of No. 172, known as Derry, now Londonderry. Duplex marks in use in Ireland are becoming rapidly superseded by the single stamps, as No. 330 of the Scotch series, only rather larger in size and with­ out the post-town number.

It prevents the hair faling off, or turning grey, nourishes, preserves, and strengthens it more effectually than any other prepara­ tion ; feeds the hair, removes scurf and harshness, and produces a strong and healthy growth. It is the best tonic and dressing for ladies’ hair, and should always be used for children, as it forms the basis of a luxuriant growth. Also sold in Golden colour for fair and golden-haired ladies and children. Bottles, 3/6, 7/*, 10/6.
