Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the invention of the penny postage system and adhesive postage stamp in the 19th century, highlighting the roles of postal reformer Rowland Hill and Dundee bookseller James Chalmers in these innovations. The author argues that the ideas and figures of Hill's penny postage scheme were largely drawn from the work of others, and that while Hill is widely credited with inventing the adhesive stamp, it was in fact Chalmers who conceived and developed this innovation. Drawing from a wealth of evidence and archival research, the book challenges the traditional narrative surrounding the invention of the postage stamp and offers a fresh perspective on the history of postal reform. It sheds light on the collaborative nature of innovation and the often-overlooked contributions of individuals outside the spotlight of history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332412839_0
