The British postal service has continually led the field in postal innovation and has helped to shape the way people around the world communicate. The Postal Museum tells this tory and explores how things have changed over the past five centuries, beginning in the days of King Henry VIII, when the postal system started to be formalised. The story is told in a Commemorative Sheet of ten 1st Class pictorial definitives reproducing the Penny Black, the Twopenny Blue and the Penny Red, with labels depicting milestones in the history of the British Postal Service.
This set of ten covers complement each individual stamp and label with an appropriate image - as if from an open envelope - and handstamp. A set of ten covers.
