Légende

New Letter-Box, at Paris, 1850. 'The reduction of the rate of postage in France has suggested the adoption of a new form of Letter-box from Belgium, a specimen of which has been erected in the Rue de la Paix, at Paris. It consists of a bronzed columnar design raised upon a granite socle; the opening for the receipt of the letters being in the upper portion of the column, and having a projection to keep out the rain; a door for the removal of the letters being provided towards the base'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
