EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, titled "Riggs Bldg. Post Office" and created by Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1920, captures a moment in time at a bustling post office in the United States. The image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection, showcases the daily activity within the postal service during the 1910s. The Riggs Building Post Office is filled with a sense of energy and productivity. Postal workers can be seen diligently attending to their duties behind the counter, sorting mail and assisting customers. At the left side of the image, a woman carefully weighs parcels on the scales, ensuring the correct postage is applied before sending them on their way. Men and women, dressed in the fashion of the era, patiently wait their turn to be served. Some engage in conversation with each other while others focus intently on their parcels, perhaps eagerly anticipating the arrival of a letter or package from a loved one. The post office's interior is adorned with signs and glass-fronted display cases, showcasing various postage stamps for customers to choose from. The overall atmosphere is one of efficiency and communication, as the postal service played a vital role in connecting people across the country during this period. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily operations of a post office during the early 20th century. The dedication and hard work of the postal staff, as well as the anticipation and excitement of the customers, are beautifully captured in this timeless image by Harris & Ewing.
