EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking colour lithograph captures a dramatic moment in the life of an Indian Postal Official, as he is attacked by a wild buffalo. The intensity of the scene is palpable, with the official's expression conveying shock and fear as he tries to defend himself against the powerful animal.
Created by artist Thomas Somerfield in the early 20th century, this illustration is part of a series depicting the wonders of the post. It was featured in a book titled "Wonders of the Post" written by Edith Robarts and published by Blackie in 1915.
The vivid colours and dynamic composition draw viewers into the chaotic scene, making them feel as though they are witnessing the attack firsthand. The attention to detail in capturing both the official's uniform and the buffalo's ferocity adds depth and realism to this image.
Through this artwork, Somerfield not only showcases his artistic talent but also highlights the dangers faced by postal workers in remote regions like India. It serves as a reminder of the risks taken by those who ensure that mail reaches its destination safely, even in challenging circumstances.
Overall, this print is a testament to both human resilience and nature's unpredictability, making it a compelling piece that sparks curiosity and admiration for those who brave such encounters.
