If under by mailbox mean any special container where different people put their correspondence, then its appearance can be dated back to the era of the Great Geographical Discoveries.

So in 1500, the expedition of the Portuguese navigator Bartolomeo Diaz tried to circumnavigate Africa and open an eastern route to India. However, halfway along the route - off the southernmost coast of the African continent - the ships encountered a terrible storm. Although Diaz himself died, one ship managed to reach the shore.
The surviving sailors were not sure whether they would be lucky on the way back, so wrote a message, in which they talked about the tragedy and death of the captain. Then letter They put it in an ordinary shoe, which was hung from a tree on the shore.
And the message found its recipients. Soon he was discovered by another captain, Jovo de Nova. In memory of the tragedy, he built a chapel on the shore, and the shoe served for a long time by mailbox for sailors entering an African harbor. Much later, a concrete block will appear in the same place. Mailbox, made in the shape of... that same memorable shoe.

Stone mailboxes Other Dutch sailors also built at similar “transshipment” points. As evidenced, for example, by the traveler Adam Alearius: “The Dutch have a special place on the pier and a stone in which they place letters so that other visiting Dutch people will be informed about their travels, where they came from and where they sailed, and what happened to them.”.

In the 18th century, the likeness mailbox appeared on the ships themselves sailing along a certain route (for example, from England to America). In appearance it was a simple canvas bag, which arriving sailors hung in hotels. Those who wished to put it there letters, the ship carried the bag to its destination, after which the captain handed over the correspondence to the nearest postmaster.

And now let's go down to land - to the lands of the Italian cities of Venice and Florence, where its likeness appeared mailboxes. True, the letters contained strictly defined contents...
It all started in 1310, when a major conspiracy against the Doge (ruler of the city-republic) was discovered in Venice. After which two new authorities were immediately organized - Council of Ten And Advice of forty. These were a kind of special services designed to track down conspirators and other enemies of society. They met secretly at night, hiding their faces under masks. The powers of the Soviets were extremely broad - sometimes people simply disappeared without trial or investigation. Even the Doges could not sleep peacefully. When one of them - Marino Falieri - wanted to usurp all power in the city, he immediately “fell on the knife”, and a less ambitious doge was elected in his place...
You probably already guessed which ones mailboxes there will be a speech... So on the wall of the Council of Ten hung a terrible mug, the mouth of which served as a slot for letters of denunciation, which “conscious” townspeople generously scribbled against the “enemies of the republic.” Something similar happened in Florence, where churches had wooden boxes - “vestibules” - all for the same revealing anonymous letters.


"Mailbox" of the Council of Ten in Venice.

Normal mailboxes first tried to introduce it in 1653, the organizer of the Parisian city ​​post office- Comte de Vilaye, who did not want to spend extra money on paying messengers. However, this mail it soon went bankrupt, and the count's innovation was forgotten for a long time.

In 1772 mailboxes appeared again - this time in Vienna. But they didn’t stand still. Letter boxes were carried with them on a belt by workers of the so-called “ratchet” mail. Collecting correspondence, they cruised around the city and announced their arrival using a special rattle.


On the left is the “ratchet” postman, on the right is the “ratchet” itself.

The "ratchet" post office existed until 1783. At the same time, the first Mailbox, attached to the wall and decorated with a design of a post horn.
The same trend was observed in Berlin. Observing the huge queues at the post offices, Privy Councilor Pistor reasonably remarked: "It's better to get mailboxes and install them where needed. You can hang the boxes in places where they will be under the supervision of a sentry; postmen can take them to the post office three times a day and replace them with others.”.

Distribution mailboxes Difficulties in paying for letters interfered. Therefore, they began to come into wide use only in the middle of the 19th century, when stamped envelopes and stamps.
But even after this mailboxes there were opponents. Here's what one of the Hannover newspapers wrote: “If someone harbors a grudge against someone, wants to bring suspicion on someone, spread slander, separate an engaged couple, set parents and children, husband and wife, servants and masters, etc., against each other, in general sow discord and discontent, guided by malice and deceit, it is enough for him to sit down at the table, write a letter full of slander and throw it unsigned in the mailbox. On the other hand, such a box provides an excellent opportunity to convey tender messages, love letters, etc., which are usually difficult to deliver in person. It must be admitted that this contributes to the establishment of criminal love affairs...”.

However, such sanctimonious scruples could not resist the conveniences that he promised Mailbox.

First in Russia mailboxes appeared in 1848 - in Moscow and St. Petersburg. They were made of boards covered with iron, but when it turned out that they were easy to break into, they began to install 40-kilogram cast iron ones.
At first mailboxes were located in different shops, which was very beneficial for the shopkeepers themselves. Firstly, they were paid a fee postmen , secondly, those recipients who were illiterate and asked to have the message read to them. However, quite quickly the state decided that it was not worth paying to someone unknown and took over the service mailboxes under your control.

Ordinary boxes were painted in Blue colour, and in orange- those from which correspondence was taken out more regularly - several times a day. There were even hour hands installed on some boxes, thanks to which postman noted the time of retrieval of correspondence.

One of the most interesting mailboxes there were "express mail" boxes installed in London. A person who urgently needed to send a letter put not only the letter into the slot, but also a payment coin. After which he pressed the lever, it emitted a signal, and the courier immediately hurried to the box to pick up the letter.

Last major improvement mailbox produced in 1896 by a Swedish engineer. Before to the postman I had to retrieve the letters manually. The Swede came up with a design where the frame of the bag was inserted into the guides of the bottom of the box, after which the movable bottom was pulled out, and the letters instantly fell into the bag. This design has been preserved in most mailboxes to this day.
