Thurn und Taxis mail schedule for Cheb, Bohemia, c. 1750:
Calculated to the hour, this broadside mail schedule illustrates the sophistication of Europe's postal system under the princely hour of Thurn and Taxis. The moderately sized city of Cheb (referred to here by its German name, Eger) had daily direct mail connections to all of Europe and even Beirut. |
