1867. 1867. Providence Letter Carrier's Address. Happy New Year to All

Providence: John F. Greene, [late 1866]. Broadside, 12 x 6.75 inches, printed in two columns within an ornamental border. Thumb-sized chip to right edge, old folds, somewhat weak, several old tape reinforcements on verso, mild foxing. Good. Item #3805

A somewhat unusual carrier's address, which usually emanate from newspapers or other periodicals; this example seems to emanate from postal carriers. The text is largely related to the carriers' work, with numerous puns such as "post," "stamp," "men of Letters," and so forth. OCLC reports just three copies, at AAS, Middlebury, and Brown.
