Paying for letter delivery, c1870 Artist: Oskar Pletsch
Paying for letter delivery, c1870. A postman waits while a young man delves in his pocket for money to pay for his letter. In Britain payment for mail was made by the addressee until the introduction in 1840 of Rowland Hills system of pre-payment by the purchase of adhesive stamps. In Germany this did not happen until after the creation of the German Empire in 1871. From a childrens book. (Germany, c1870)
