Instructional poster designed by Tom Eckersley for the General Post Office.

Poster shows a cartoon girl figure holding a dolly in the same design, against a green background. Both are wearing a large blue bow in their hair.

The dolly, which has been delivered by post, is intact as the parcel was properly packed. The poster slogan advises on the correct packing of parcels and states that "certain articles need special packing...ask at Counter for free Leaflet".

The poster is signed in the bottom right corner and features an edition number.
