The Post Office in Pictures is an exhibition showcasing a selection of inspiring images sourced from the vast collections of the British Postal Museum & Archive.

In 1934, the General Post Office (GPO) established its Public Relations Department. Headed by the entrepreneurial Sir Stephen Tallents, the department's aim was to promote good relations with the public, to provide guidance on using postal services, and to gather and interpret customer feedback to help shape the work of the GPO.

Photography was one of the key tools used by the PR Department to reach and engage with the general public. In order to supply its fledgling Post Office Magazine with professionally-produced photographs, Tallents secured the services of skilled photographers from the Engineer-in-Chief's Department. Members of the GPO Photographic Unit began to accompany the magazine's journalists, creating visually appealing, informative and often humorous articles about daily life in Britain.
