EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Post Office Department - Parcel Post, 1914," was created by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the United States Postal Service during the 1910s. In the photograph, several postal workers are shown busily sorting parcels at a Post Office Department facility. The scene exudes a sense of industry and efficiency, as the men carefully handle and organize the packages, some of which are marked with destinations across the country. The image captures the dedication and hard work that went into ensuring the timely delivery of mail during this era. The photograph was taken during a significant period in the history of the US Postal Service, as the Parcel Post service was introduced in 1913, making it easier and more affordable for individuals to send larger items through the mail. This innovation revolutionized the way people communicated and shared goods with one another, bridging distances and connecting communities. The photographers, George William Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, were married partners who ran Harris Ewing Inc., a successful photographic studio that provided images for various publications and institutions, including the Library of Congress. Their work offers valuable insights into American history and culture, providing a rich visual record of the past.
