EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The post office at the office of the Illustrated London News" takes us back to 19th century London. The scene depicts a bustling street in Strand, where a horse-drawn post office van has made its stop outside the renowned offices of the Illustrated London News. Intriguingly capturing a moment frozen in time, this print offers a glimpse into the daily life of Victorian England. Men and women can be seen going about their business on the busy streets, while postal workers diligently unload sacks of mail from the van. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as people eagerly await news and correspondence from near and far. Published in January 1845 by the Illustrated London News itself, this engraving holds historical significance as it showcases an integral part of communication during that era - postal transport. It serves as a reminder of how crucial these services were for connecting individuals across vast distances before modern technology transformed our means of communication. With meticulous attention to detail, this artwork transports viewers back to an age when horse-drawn carriages ruled the roads and human interaction was paramount for delivering messages promptly. As we admire this piece today, it allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such engravings and also reflect upon how much our world has evolved since then.
