- PC_SC9-MulreadyUnused postcard published by Stamp Collecting magazine 1980 “The Blarney Stone” - Caricature by George Edward Madeley (1798-1858), based on the Mulready design of early postal stationery, giving Madeley’s take on Victorian foreign policy in 1840. Mulready stationery was postal stationery letter sheets and envelopes introduced as part of the British Post Office postal reforms of 1840. They went on sale on 1 May 1840, and were valid for use from 6 May. The Mulready name arises from the fact that William Mulready, a well-known artist of the time, was commissioned to illustrate the part of the letter sheets and envelopes which corresponded with the face area (cf PC_NPM31-6 here ).

- PC_Schilling-Walk2-1916 (1)Postcard franked Croydon 1913 - Celerating George M Schilling George M. Schilling (1874-1920) was a legendary American one-armed athlete who defied all odds to become the first man to walk around the world for a wager. Embarking on his first epic adventure in August 1897 from New York City, Schilling set out with nothing but a newspaper suit and penniless pockets. Over nine arduous years, he traversed an astounding distance of 55,000 miles, encircling the globe and etching his name into history books as one of humanity's greatest explorers. For a more detailed account of Schilling’s life and exploits see this Dollar Bank article . (accessed July 2023)
