Ⅲ. Do you know how the first envelope and postcard were developed?Here is the story. One day in 1820, an Englishman was spending his holiday at the seaside. He found the ladies liked writing letters, but were afraid of others reading their secrets. So he designed and made some envelopes out of paper. Twenty-four years later, in 1844, two other Englishmen made an envelope-making machine, and so the first envelopes were developed. In 1865, a German artist drew a picture on a piece of thick paper and wrote a few words on its back. He wanted to send it to his friend, but couldn’t find a big enough envelope for it. He went to the post office and told one of the workers about it. The worker thought for a while and told him to write his friend’s name and address on the back of the picture. The picture served as an open letter. The German artist happily accepted this and this was how the first postcard was sent, so he was the inventor of the first postcard. 查看更多
