Description: | This original lino-cut design of the former manor house of Bruce
Castle was designed for publication in 'The Post' journal on 5th
July 1947. It was an illustration to highlight the postal
history associations at Bruce Castle of the Victorian Sir
Rowland Hill (who introduced the Penny Postage stamp and Postal
Reform) and the postal history collections held there. In 1947
Bruce Castle was the museum for Tottenham (later to become the
London borough of Haringey's museum). Close examination of the
image shows the pen and ink alterations and additions made by
the artist. The pencil markings at the bottom are the
measurement instructions for the printers. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bruce Castle Museum, Haringey | Rights holder: | Digital image Haringey Culture, Libraries & Learning | Subjects: | work Public services Leisure Art and Design | Temporal: | 1947 | Source: | Bruce Castle Museum (Haringey) | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
