This vintage postcard from 1987
is a beautiful representation of Victorian Britain,
showcasing the artistic talents of Mike Dempsey,
FCSD, of Carroll Dempsey & Thirkell Limited.
The intricate design on the card
is a reproduction of a stamp
issued by the Post Office on 8 September 1987.
During the Victorian era,
which spanned from 1837 to 1901,
Britain underwent a period
of significant change and progress.
This time was marked by a strong emphasis on industry,
with the country experiencing a period
of rapid industrialisation and urbanisation.
This led to the growth of major cities
such as London, Manchester, and Liverpool,
which became hubs for trade and commerce.
Despite the advances in technology and industry,
Victorian Britain was also known
for its strict social norms and values,
particularly when it came to class and gender roles.
The era was marked by a strict social hierarchy,
with the upper class enjoying privileges
that were denied to the lower classes.
This vintage postcard,
measuring 5 7/8 inches x 4 1/8 inches,
offers a glimpse into this fascinating period of history.
The card is part of the Post Office Picture Card Series
PHQ 104 (c) 9/87,
and was printed at The House of Questa
in London, England.
It is a unique and charming piece of history
that is sure to delight collectors
and anyone with an interest
in the rich cultural heritage of Victorian Britain.
Please note that there is no postmark on the card.
