EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the late 19th century when a postman diligently delivers mail in Haiti. The vibrant colours of this lithograph bring to life the daily routine of this dedicated postal worker, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of both Haiti and France. Part of a series created as promotional cards for Chocolat Carpentier, a renowned chocolate manufacturer, this image not only serves as an advertisement but also provides a glimpse into the postal service in different countries during that era. The French School's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition - from the postman's uniform to the Haitian flag proudly displayed on his horse-drawn carriage. In an age before modern technology, letters were cherished means of communication, connecting loved ones across vast distances. This image reminds us of the importance placed on reliable mail delivery services and how they played an integral role in people's lives. As we admire this vintage card, we are transported back to a time when horses were essential companions for delivering mail efficiently. The presence of these majestic animals adds another layer of charm and nostalgia to this scene. Beyond its historical significance, this lithograph also highlights Chocolat Carpentier's association with sweetness and indulgence. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our busy lives, taking moments to savor life's little pleasures can bring joy and comfort just like receiving a heartfelt letter or enjoying delicious chocolates from your local sweet shop or candy store.
