The Post Office in Pictures, 1935 : title page engraved by Robert Gibbings
A rather fine pictorial survey of the work of the Post Office produced in 1935 and showing the vast work of the organisation at that time, encompassing postal services, telephone and telegrams and national savings and banking. Not only did the Post Office provide the actual consumer services but they developed technologies, maintained physical infrastructure and procured supplies. Even the Dog Licence that was then required to own one is there. This is the title page showing elements of all these works and it is by the well known Irish engraver and artist Robert Gibbings.
