Looks at how the Industrial Revolution itself revolutionized the postal service in Great Britain, discussing how Rowland Hill developed the idea of stamps, how they were first designed and created, and their impact on the postal service.

"For approaching two centuries, the images on postage stamps have been used to convey messages from the government of the day to the general public. Science has been used to enhance those messages for the past nine decades. In this book, I explore the ways in which science and scientists have been portrayed on stamps and look at the ideas and, in some cases, the propaganda that underpins them."--Page 1.
