EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a snapshot of rural life in the Cotswolds in 1938, as a postman makes his rounds delivering parcels to local residents. Riding a pony and laden with parcels of all shapes and sizes, including an unexpected dead unplucked goose, the postman is seen stopping at a cottage gate to hand over a package to a waiting woman.
The scene exudes nostalgia for a bygone era when postal service was more personal and intimate. The stone wall and thatched roof of the cottage provide the perfect backdrop for this quaint moment in history.
In an age before modern conveniences like email and online shopping, the postal service played a vital role in connecting communities and delivering goods from afar. This image serves as a reminder of simpler times when interactions were face-to-face, packages were hand-delivered, and trust between neighbors was paramount.
As we look back on this snapshot from 1938, we are reminded of the hardworking postmen who braved all weather conditions to ensure that mail reached its destination safely. It's moments like these that remind us of the importance of human connection and community bonds that have stood the test of time.
