Few things announced the start of a travel season like a printed schedule, and this sheet offers the spring and summer arrangement of the Great Southern Mail Line to passengers heading south. The line's name points to the mail contracts that often ran alongside passenger service, when letters, travelers and freight frequently moved over the same routes. Notices like this were posted in depots, hotels and newspapers, so they show how people planned long journeys before schedules were widely standardized. Look closely at the layout for connections and fares, which reveal how a single trip was often stitched together from several carriers.
