This vintage photograph captures a significant moment in the evolution of post office messenger boys' uniforms. In an effort to modernize their appearance, these young messengers are now donning smarter attire. The updated design features an open collar, replacing the traditional buttoned-up look, allowing for greater comfort and flexibility during their daily tasks. One notable change is the larger pouch incorporated into the uniform's design. This modification aims to accommodate the increasing demand for "Greetings" telegrams, ensuring that these important messages can be efficiently delivered by these diligent messengers. Contrasting with its predecessor, this new uniform also eliminates braid embellishments on the shoulders, embracing a more streamlined aesthetic while maintaining functionality. These alterations reflect a shift towards contemporary fashion trends prevalent in Europe during this era between wars. The photo itself showcases side-by-side comparisons of both old and new uniforms at Mount Pleasant on June 2nd, 1936. Captured in black and white monochrome tones typical of twentieth-century photography, it offers us a glimpse into history through press photography from Planet News. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk as part of their extensive collection documenting various aspects of life throughout different time periods, this image serves as a testament to how even seemingly small changes in fashion can have lasting impacts on our perception and understanding of historical events.
