  • I'm back at Stampex! This time I visit Robin Cassell, an expert and dealer of Mulready stationery.
    In this episode, Robin discusses the Victorian innovation of prepaid envelopes, and the public's response that inspired the future of mail art.

    Graham you have produced so many excellent philatelic videos and this one about the Mulreadys ranks right up there with your top videos. This was absolutely a incredible philatelic history lesson; thank you and thanks to Robin for sharing this wonderful piece of history!

      Thank you Gary, glad you enjoyed it. Since learning about the Mulreadys, I have been eager to get Robin on camera to talk about them...super fascinating. Thanks for watching 😊

      Thank you John 😊. Robin did such a fantastic job explaining the Mulready and the Caricatures, that the video just edited itself. Thanks so much for watching!

    Thanks for sharing, Graham! The Mulready covers are so beautiful. I love your editing in this episode too, especially the beginning has a documentary feel almost!

    • @ExploringStamps
      @ExploringStamps  11 місяців тому

      Thank you Lisa 😊. Mulready covers are indeed beautiful, especially the used ones with a maltese cross. Glad you liked the editing, I've been experimenting and trying different approaches to keep audience retention, I hope it works.

    Thanks Graham and Robin! Fascinating, and a bit humorous - how the public reacted with the caricatures. 😊😊I have never heard of or seen Mulready covers and did not know what to expect from the video. Now my knowledge broadened again. I just love all the "comics" also the original drawings. Each of them tells a story in itself. Thanks again!

    Had no idea about this but of course it all makes sense. The public wants what it wants and rejects what it doesn't. Well done video as always.

    • @ExploringStamps
      @ExploringStamps  11 місяців тому

      Exactly! It’s so funny seeing how the public ridiculed it with caricatures, and some were very well done. Thanks so much for watching, BuzzaWuzza 😊

    I have one used cover, but i is a normal one for 1 penny from 1841 and the appearence is not 100% perfect. It is an envelope and on the backside there is a red cancel for the arrival day. Also a Postage print and a number (A 149).The Mulready envelopes are really interesting and I already saw some of the different ones in the past. There are endless letters in the style I saw from time to time in auctions, which are individual and probably painted (?). May be what was coming after the Mulreadys , I´m not a specialist. In Germany you see from time to time Mulready envelopes, but it is not very often. Some are really expensive, even the original looking ones, but I have no idea what the differences are. I like these envelopes a lot, but they are not that easy to get. I would love to own one of the cartoon ones, but I assume it is easier to get one of these via UK. May be in the future. Very nice topic.

    Graham, this was such a fantastic video to watch. That gent was so knowledgeable and I feel ready to look into collecting these. I now know why my one and only Mulready is a front cover only. Many thanks

    Awesome video bro! Lots of love from India..... your videos are very informative and interesting, as far as my youtube search history, i guess your channel is the most trusted by me for philatelic knowledge. Will it be possible for you to make a video on India's 1948 Mahatma Gandhi Postage Stams as those stamps have a very interesting background, a wonderful history and they are a treasure hunt for collectors. I hope you make a video on them.....😀😀😀

    • @ExploringStamps
      @ExploringStamps  11 місяців тому +1

      😊 Glad you enjoyed it! So cool to see a Mulready collector watching the channel, Mulreadys really are fascinating. Robin explained a lot more to me during the filming, but I kept it to be a lighter introduction to the topic, so much more to explore though. Thanks for watching!

  • @kelvidaniels9417

    I remember you briefly talking about a Mulready that you bought from Robin in an episode (I think several years back?). Very nice to get its own video, this was an amazing episode, thank you!

    • @ExploringStamps
      @ExploringStamps  11 місяців тому +1

      That is correct!! Yes I think I bought my Mulready maybe 2 years ago? Since then, I have been looking for an opportunity to just do an episode about the Mulready, such a cool topic. Thanks Kelvi.
