EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Diplomatic Communication of the 1970s: An Envelope Sent Via British Embassy Diplomatic Bag 2.. This evocative image captures a snapshot of diplomatic communication during the 1970s, as seen through the lens of a simple yet significant envelope. The envelope, postmarked in April 1978, bears the seal of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), symbolizing its official and confidential nature. The envelope was sent via diplomatic bag from the British Embassy, which at the time was located in London, SE3 - a different address from the Mary Evans Picture Library where this photograph is now housed. The blue hue of the envelope, combined with the rubber stamp and typewritten address, adds to its authentic and historical allure. The diplomatic bag system, established under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, ensures the secure and privileged transport of diplomatic communications between embassies and their sending countries. This envelope, with its meticulously applied stamp and official label, serves as a testament to the importance of diplomacy and communication in maintaining international relations during the 1970s. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when diplomatic correspondence was an essential component of global dialogue and understanding. With its rich history and intriguing backstory, this envelope is a fascinating artifact of the 1970s, providing a unique perspective on the world of diplomacy and international relations.
