Original 1846 BRITISH POST OFFICE NOTICE:
Provenance: We bought this notice 11 years ago with another important Post Office Notice announcing the REGISTERED MAIL Service which was soon sold for in excess of our price today. We parked this poster on a shelf - long-forgotten until we found it this week.
This Original British Post Office Notice is obvioulsy damaged but fortunately in an open void area. Please Read the content - this notice will be wanted by every collector of British Queen Victoria stamps ... BRITISH POST OFFICES USED ABROAD: Quote: A CONTRACT having been made by Her Majesty's Government with the Pacific Steam Navigation Company mentions STATES & PORTS established from which stamps are collected today. The area of collecting BRITISH POST OFFICES USED ABROAD has seen a significant resurgence of interest and price rises within the past five years. Highly Desirable Frontispiece to any BRITISH POST OFFICES USED ABROAD specialised collection. Ceratinly never unique then, but now how rare just 179 years later? Could another be found ? (1. Post Office Notice: Instructions, No. 8 - 1846, with reference to No. 31, 1845.) c. 285mm x 430mm
