This promotional music sheet for the popular music hall song, "The Parcels Post," showcases an illustration by Alfred Concanen that beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the era. Dated January 19, 1884, the image portrays the excitement and anticipation surrounding the delivery of parcels during the Victorian era. At the center of the scene, the post van driver patiently waits as the postie hands out parcels to the crowd gathered at the back of the cart. The postie, with a smile on his face and a bundle of parcels in hand, is surrounded by a group of people eagerly reaching out to receive their packages. The illustration's intricate details, from the post van's design to the clothing and expressions of the onlookers, transport us back to the 1880s and the charm of the music hall. The song "The Parcels Post" was written by N.G. Travers and was sung with immense success by G.H. MacDermott. The lyrics of the song capture the joy and anticipation of receiving a letter or parcel, adding to the overall enjoyment and entertainment value of the music hall experience. This stunning artwork, a testament to the marketing and advertising efforts of the time, showcases the leisurely pursuits and public enjoyment of music and theatre during the Victorian era.
