 Alphabetilately: M is for Mulready Envelope
Mulready envelopes are elaborately decorated, pre-paid envelopes and letter sheets issued in England, in 1840, at the same time as the Penny Black, the world's first postage stamp.
Keep in mind that the Mulreadys and Penny Blacks were part of a major postal reform, in which the rate scale was dramatically revised, from a system based on the number of sheets of paper and the mileage, to one based simply on weight.
The Mulready (Artist/Designer, William Mulready; Engraver, John Thompson; Printers, William Clowes & Sons) was issued in two denominations, One Penny (fl ink on cream paper) and Two Pence (blue ink on cream paper), in two different colors to distinguish the denominations, and in two different formats - unfolded envelopes and unfolded letter sheets.

Kathryn Heleniak demonstrates how intimately Mulready's paintings were related to the social conditions of his time.
His portrayal of fls is linked to the abolition of slavery and to the British colonial experience; his children's genre is analysed in the light of nineteenth-century attitudes to childhood and sexuality, and in the light of Mulready's own deeply-rooted pessimism about human nature.

It is a mistake to view Rowland Hill and William Mulready as isolated inventive geniuses.
Mulready and Hill were carrying forward traditions that had been tested and were under way, in fits and (mostly false) starts for the previous two centuries in Europe, as postal services that originally served only the elite, conducted by the House of Thurn and Taxis, were gradually appropriated by the entire people.
In May of 1840, when Great Britain issued the one-penny and two-pence stamps, stamped envelopes, and lettersheets that those men had designed, standing on the shoulders of many who had come before, they represented a leap forward for worldwide communication -- a success story for which they are justly celebrated.
