EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of stamping letters in a litho printing press, as illustrated by Thomas Somerfield in the early 20th century. The image is part of a series titled "Wonders of the Post" related by Edith Robarts and published by Blackie in 1915.
In this snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when communication was an art form that required meticulous attention to detail. The postal service played a crucial role in connecting people across the United Kingdom and beyond, making it possible for messages to travel far and wide.
As we gaze upon this scene of workers diligently stamping letters with precision and care, we are reminded of the importance of human touch in an age dominated by digital communication. Each letter stamped represents a connection made, a message delivered, and a story shared.
Through this photo print, we not only witness the inner workings of an old post office but also gain insight into the craftsmanship and dedication required to ensure that every piece of mail reaches its destination safely. It serves as a tribute to those who have dedicated their lives to keeping us connected through the simple act of sending letters.
