EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of daily life in late 19th century Italy, as an Italian postman diligently delivers mail to the residents of a bustling street. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the rich history and cultural significance of postal services during that era. Taken from a series of illustrations commissioned by Chocolat Carpentier, a renowned chocolate manufacturer, this image served as a promotional card for their delectable treats. It beautifully showcases how communication and marketing intertwined even back then, with the postman becoming an integral part of spreading news and advertisements throughout the country. Intriguingly, our postman is depicted as a Franciscan monk adorned in his traditional brown robe. This unique choice highlights both the religious influence on society at that time and perhaps symbolizes the trustworthiness associated with monks delivering important messages. The scene itself exudes charm and nostalgia - children eagerly await letters from loved ones while locals go about their daily routines amidst picturesque buildings lining the street. It serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements over time, there is something timeless about receiving physical mail - holding it in your hands creates an intimate connection between sender and recipient. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era when handwritten letters were cherished treasures eagerly anticipated by all.
