"Neither Deluge Nor Ice Storm Nor The Black Silence Of The Netherhells Shall Stay These Messengers About Their Sacred Buisness. Do Not Ask Us About Sabre-Tooth Tigers, Tar Pits, Big Green Things With Teeth Or The Goddess Czol." Terry Pratchett, Going Postal (Discworld #33) Featured: the press that printed the world's first adhesive postal stamp, the Penny Black, now on display at the British Library's Euston Road building. #pennyblack #printingpress #stamp #stamppress #philately #postalhistory #stamphistory #firststamp #britishlibrary #royalmail #usps #post #mail #historical #britishhistory #ukhistory #historyofscience #historyoftechnology #culturalhistory #historygram #historiansofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #bookstagrammer #terrypratchett #terrypratchettquote #discworld #goingpostal (at British Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CafvQXeL2R6/?utm_medium=tumblr
