NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM / GREENWICH EXHIBITION - 1960 -

This Exhibition traces the history of the carriage of seaborne mail through the centuries, and in particular the remarkable history of the Post Office Sailing Packets which sailed from Falmouth with the mails between 1688 and 1850.

A total of only 90 Complete Mounted Collections exist -- this particular Private Printing came from Album #67 of 90. 

 -- GREENWICH, ENGLAND --

The Private Printing is in Good++ Condition -- some very minor imperfections and light mailing/handling wear. Toning and light soiling. Some bumps from mailing/handling which has resulted in minor corner/edge wear & rounding and very minor bends/creases. Please Note: -- this printing has been glued to one of the album pages.

Please Note: I'm charging "Higher Shipping Costs" for Large Size -- Private Printings -- stationery costs have risen dramatically over the past couple of years -- and -- these larger items require larger shipping envelopes that need more cardboard protection -- which increases the shipping weight resulting in higher postage costs.

Shipping Costs:

-- Canada $3.00, USA $6.00 and International $12.00.

-- Combined Shipping -- any additional lots purchased and mailed together within 10 days are shipped for $0.00 (Free).
