The Late Floods at Windsor - A Glimpse into the Challenging Times of Postal Delivery
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving from the 19th century takes us back to a momentous event in history - the devastating floods that engulfed Windsor. The image showcases a scene filled with chaos and resilience, as postal workers brave treacherous waters to deliver mail amidst flooded streets. The print captures the sheer difficulties faced by these dedicated individuals, wading through waterlogged roads while carrying heavy sacks of letters and packages. Their determination is evident as they navigate their way on boats, punts, and even tugboats to reach their destinations. Temporary bridges have been erected to aid transportation, showcasing human ingenuity in times of crisis. Amidst this tumultuous backdrop, one cannot help but admire the architectural beauty of Cambridge Terrace standing tall against nature's wrath. The windows reveal glimpses of coals burning inside homes, providing warmth and solace during these trying times. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of how natural disasters can disrupt everyday life and test our resolve. It also highlights the crucial role played by postal workers who go above and beyond to ensure communication continues despite adversity. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us reflect on the strength exhibited by communities during challenging times throughout history.
