Postal History
A
fascinating pictorial cavalcade from Cobb and Co to
Qantas.
In old photographs, postcards and cartoons are horse-drawn,
motorised, aerial and marine postal vehicles. Postmen
on bicycles, horse and even skis are represented and
the size of the sorting rooms has to be seen to be believed! |
