Uniformed Postman with Baby in Mailbag Postcard
Who needs express delivery when you’ve got a mailbag big enough for a baby? This humourous vintage photo shows a city letter carrier posing with a young boy snugly tucked into his mailbag. After the introduction of parcel post in 1913, a few adventurous parents actually mailed their kids—yes, with stamps attached! The Postmaster General soon stepped in to put an end to these "special deliveries." Since then, scenes like this have been immortalised in fun photos, reminding us that sending kids by mail is officially off-limits.
Original photo courtesy of the National Postal Museum, edited and applied on this postcard by Alma Wad.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for.
I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording.
Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
