I'm searching for information on parcel post forms (German: paketkarte;
French: bulletin d'expedition; Italian: bolletino pacco). I'm wanting to
know something of the history of these cards - How do such cards "work"?
When were they first introduced? By whom (what country)? Do
international cards differ from those used for internal mail? etc. etc.
I know that at the Congress of the Universal Postal Union in Paris, in
1878, the international parcel-post system was established, but such
cards were in use long before that. I've tried "Google" without much
success, perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place (story of my life!).
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
