Graham Bell

This postcard featuring Graham Bell and a prototype telephone, sent by Bryon (Canada) landed in my mail box last week. 

On the back, among others, I found this stamp featuring Mr Bell, issued in 1947 to commemorate the centenary of his birth. 

There are a lot of stamps celebrating the invention of the telephone. Royal Mail issued a series of four in 1976, on the centenary of the first telephone call.

Finding phones on stamps seems quite common!
