EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the General Post Office's Inland Office in London, circa 1841. The artist, Thomas H Ellis, beautifully captures the bustling atmosphere of this important hub of communication during the Victorian era. The image showcases a large room filled with male postal workers diligently attending to their tasks. Each worker is stationed at his desk, surrounded by stacks of letters waiting to be sorted and delivered across the country. The furniture exudes an air of elegance and sophistication that was characteristic of the period. Amidst this organized chaos, we see a group of men engaged in conversation, perhaps discussing work-related matters or sharing stories from their daily lives. Their presence adds a human touch to this otherwise formal setting. The engraving provides us with a glimpse into how communications were handled in the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and efficiency within postal services. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the intricate details captured by Joseph Mead through his drawings made with permission from public offices. It stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with capturing moments from our past for future generations to admire and learn from.
