BOWER 50 TRINITY STREET HUDDERSFIELD” being applied to the addressee side. Horizontal filing crease in lower portion. Very early example of an interception in transit. (H&G 9)Note: At Paris'78, a rewording of the section on post cards in the UPU Convention - address side “is reserved for the address alone….” - caused a more stringent interpretation by the British PO during 1879-80, in that return addresses on the address side were prohibited in UPU mails.
