This minisite, created by Andy Taylor FRPSL, contains descriptions of the systems set up by the Austro-Hungarian Empire to monitor, control, and tax the delivery of newspapers, both inland and from abroad, to citizens who had ordered them, either through the Post Office, or by private arrangement with a foreign publisher. It includes a general introduction to the genesis of the project, especially to the logistics of delivering a 54-frame display and a Powerpoint presentation to the Royal Philatelic Society London on 26 March 2026.
Note; the links will "spawn" - ie, the chosen page opens in your browser; when you're finished with it simply close it and the page with the links is still there.
General introduction. Also some of the bridges I had to cross, dragons defeated etc.
A representation of each frame of the static display. Ways of making the individual sheets more readable are under study.
Powerpoint reimagined - a recreated and slightly enhanced version of the presentation.
Handout - displayers at the Royal are expected to provide a handout for the attenders...
