EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Postal service" takes us back in time to the 19th century, capturing a moment of progress and change in the world of mail delivery. The image showcases a country postman on his horse-drawn carriage, symbolizing the beginning of an era where communication would become faster and more efficient. The contrast between the old-fashioned mode of transportation and the emerging postal system is striking. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and convenience. The introduction of services like book post and parcel post revolutionized communication during this period. In this scene, children are seen eagerly awaiting their letters or packages from afar, highlighting the excitement that came with receiving mail during those times. The iconic Penny Black stamp can be spotted on some envelopes, representing a significant milestone in postal history. As we gaze at this timeless image, it prompts us to reflect on the passage of time and appreciate how our modern-day Royal Mail has evolved from these humble beginnings. This print is not just an artwork; it's a historical artifact that encapsulates both nostalgia for simpler times and admiration for progress made over centuries.
