Framed Print of The sea as a letter box, posting letters in St Kilda
The sea as a letter box: missives cast upon the waters. Posting letters at St Kilda, 1910. During those months in which vessels do not call at the island of St Kilda, in the Outer Hebrides, letters are dispatched by being placed in a waterproof, buoyant case and cast upon the waters. Usually this mail packet is picked up on the coast of Norway to be forwarded to the Foreign Office. Four packages out of six reach their destination. Date: 1910. Mary Evans Picture Library makes available wonderful images created for people to enjoy over the centuries. © Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans
