EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hanging up the Mail Bags for the Train to pick up as she flies by" transports us back to a time when mail delivery was an exhilarating spectacle. Created in the early 20th century, this colour lithograph captures the essence of a small railway line bustling with activity. In this scene, we witness a dedicated railway worker diligently hanging up mail bags on a post as a speeding train approaches. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring life to this moment frozen in time. The artist's skillful use of lithography beautifully highlights the hustle and bustle of daily life during this era. The illustration originally appeared in "The Picture Book of Trains" published by Ward Lock before 1942. It serves as a reminder of how essential railways were for public transport and communication during that period. The image evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when letters traveled through air mail, connecting people across vast distances. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it reminds us not only of the importance of trains but also showcases the artistry involved in creating illustrations that captivate our imagination even today. This print is truly an exquisite representation of transportation history and serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress throughout the twentieth century.
