Original Edwardian railway postcard issued by the London & North Western Railway (L&NWR).
The image shows a steam locomotive picking up mail bags at full speed, a fascinating snapshot of early 20th-century railway and postal operations.
This was an important innovation of the era and makes the card particularly appealing to both railway and postal history collectors.
The reverse confirms this card is from the L&NWR Series, dated November 1905.
