EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Vintage Treasure: A 1947 Broadcast Receiving Licence Excluding Television" This photograph showcases an original Broadcast Receiving Licence, issued in the United Kingdom during the year 1947. The licence, excluding television, grants permission to operate a radio or wireless receiving apparatus, making it an essential document for those who wished to enjoy the magic of radio broadcasts during this era. The licence, with its handwritten details, is a testament to the history of communication and the evolution of media in the 1940s. The pink colour and official handwriting add to its authenticity and charm, transporting us back in time. The licence bears the inscription "Broadcast Receiving Licence," followed by the year of issue, 1947. The cost of the licence was set at twenty shillings, which is equivalent to one pound in modern currency. During the 1940s, radio was a primary source of entertainment and information for the British public. The licence served as a legal requirement, ensuring that individuals adhered to the Telegraphy Acts and other relevant communication laws. The document's presence in our collection is a reminder of the significant role that radio played in shaping the way people communicated and were informed during this period. The vintage Broadcast Receiving Licence is an intriguing piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and the importance of radio as a medium for communication and entertainment. This photograph is an excellent addition to any collection focusing on communication history, 1940s memorabilia, or British cultural heritage.
