Bringers of Good Tidings
‘Bringers of Good Tidings’, by Ruth Artmonsky is a very eye-catching book in itself and has beautiful examples of Greetings Telegrams with stories of their controversial history. We are introduced to their background and the people behind them, including their champions, designers and the ‘Telegram Messenger Boy’.
Greetings telegrams were introduced in Denmark in 1907, and in Sweden in 1912. By the time Britain introduced them in 1935 most of Europe, the USA and many other countries had such a service. Between 1935 and 1982 a variety of greetings telegrams were available, enabling customers to send greetings for weddings, birthdays, coming of ages, Christmas and the Coronation, as well as Valentine’s Day.
A selection of some of the lovely illustrations.
