EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Letter Carrier, 1828" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th-century India. Created by Marlet et Cie and featured in L'Inde Francais, this print showcases the daily life of a dedicated letter carrier. In this colorful artwork, we see a male messenger dressed in traditional Indian attire, running with great agility as he fulfills his important duty. Clutching a pole and carrying a box filled with precious letters, he symbolizes the vital role of communication during that era. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every fold in the letter carrier's dress is meticulously depicted. The composition exudes energy and movement as if capturing him mid-stride on his mission to deliver messages across the vast country. This lithograph not only captures an occupation but also provides insight into Indian culture during this time period. It serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication of individuals like this postman who played an essential role in connecting people from different corners of Hindoostan. From its origins within Jean Claude Carriere's collection, this print has become an invaluable piece showcasing both artistic skill and historical significance. As we admire it today, we are transported back to an era where handwritten letters were cherished means of communication and where messengers like him bridged distances through their unwavering commitment to their profession.
