EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph print captures the bustling activity of a post office in early 20th century England. The image, titled "Stamping," is a charming illustration originally created for The Children's Friend magazine in 1900. The scene depicts postal workers diligently stamping letters and parcels with colourful ink, ready to be sent off to their destinations. The artist, part of the English School from the 20th century, skillfully portrays the daily operations of a main post office with intricate detail and lively colours. Each figure is meticulously rendered, from the focused expressions on the faces of the workers to the stacks of mail waiting to be processed. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back in time to an era when handwritten letters were a primary mode of communication. The print serves as a reminder of simpler times when people eagerly awaited news from loved ones near and far. This artwork not only showcases the importance of postal services in connecting communities but also celebrates the artistry and craftsmanship involved in creating illustrations for publications like The Children's Friend. It is truly a testament to both artistic talent and cultural history that continues to captivate viewers today.
