The Royal Mail Journal

Bristol, 1825. The evening mail arrives from London. 

A Royal Mail coach pulls up in front of the Post Office on Corn Street. The arrival of the mail—a daily event met with great commotion and the bustle of passengers and porters, parcels and post, horses and onlookers.

A Royal Mail coach pulls up in front of the Post Office on Corn Street… an event met a rush and bustle of passengers and porters, parcels and post, horses and onlookers.

And one curious dog who doesn’t want to miss any of it.

Somewhere in all of it are bags of letters and the news contained within them. Declarations of love. Everyday business. Ink and paper, folded and sealed (this was before envelopes) into tidy rectangles of anticipation.

The scene, painted in 1825, Isaac Robert Cruikshank. Now, wrapped around this hardcover journal, 201 years later. A label on the front reads:

Bristol, 1825
