EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1899, offers a rare glimpse into the intricate process of printing Postal Orders at the Bank of England in the City of London during the Victorian era. The image showcases a bustling workshop filled with boys of various ages, each focused intently on their tasks. The boys are surrounded by an array of printing presses, inks, and paper, all necessary for producing the Postal Orders. The Postal Order was an innovative financial instrument introduced by the Post Office in 1884, allowing customers to send money through the mail without the need for a stamp or an envelope. The Bank of England played a crucial role in printing these orders, ensuring their authenticity and security. The boys in the photograph appear to be engaged in different stages of the printing process. Some are feeding paper into the printing presses, while others are carefully aligning the plates or applying ink. The atmosphere is one of industry and precision, with the boys working diligently to meet the demand for these financial instruments. This photograph provides a fascinating insight into the employment opportunities available to young boys during the Victorian era, particularly in the financial sector. It also highlights the importance of the Bank of England in the production and distribution of Postal Orders, which revolutionized the way people could send money through the mail. Overall, this image is a captivating reminder of the rich history of finance and industry in the City of London during the late 19th century.
