EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Post Office Department - Parcel Post, 1914" by Harris & Ewing, captures a moment in American history as a postal worker delivers parcels for the newly established Parcel Post service. The image showcases a determined and focused deliveryman in full uniform, dressed in a dark coat and hat, as he carefully maneuvers a heavy load of parcels on a cart, surrounded by a bustling background of people and communication activity. The Parcel Post service, which began operations on January 1, 1913, revolutionized the way Americans sent packages and bulk mail, making it more accessible and affordable for the average citizen. The photograph, taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the postal service during this era. The studio, founded by George William Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896, was a leading provider of photographic services in Washington D.C. and is now a valuable part of the Heritage Art Collection at the Library of Congress.
