EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Illustrated London News, an engraving created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century. The print is part of a private collection and offers a fascinating glimpse into the technological advancements of that era. Published on August 24,1861, this particular page features three illustrations depicting various aspects of postal services in London. The first illustration captures the pneumatic letter and parcel conveyance system at Battersea, showcasing a despatch-tube used for transporting mail. The second illustration provides a detailed section view of the disc inside an engine house, which likely played a crucial role in powering this innovative transportation method. Lastly, we are presented with an image showcasing both the mouth of the tube and carriage involved in this groundbreaking process. The image not only highlights advancements in technology but also sheds light on how postal workers operated during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how far our communication systems have come since then. Displayed within Look and Learn's Peter Jackson Collection, this historical artifact allows us to appreciate the ingenuity and progress made by our predecessors while providing valuable insights into life in Victorian London.
