EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph captures a moment of betrayal and deceit as a postman from the GPO is caught in the act of stealing a letter. The scene depicts the postman hastily pocketing a Valentine's card, showcasing the darker side of human nature amidst an otherwise mundane profession.
The vibrant colours bring to life the tension and urgency of the situation, with the postman depicted in mid-run as he attempts to make his escape. The details in this print are exquisite, from the intricate patterns on his uniform to the subtle expression of guilt on his face.
This image serves as a reminder that even those entrusted with delivering messages of love and joy can succumb to temptation. It raises questions about trust, honesty, and integrity in society, prompting viewers to reflect on their own moral compass.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a time when letters were cherished treasures exchanged between loved ones. The artist has masterfully captured not just a moment of theft, but also a snapshot of history and human behavior.
Overall, this print is both visually striking and thought-provoking, inviting us to delve deeper into its narrative and contemplate the complexities of human nature.
