EDITORS COMMENTS
Here Comes the Mail! (engraving) captures a nostalgic scene from the late 19th century, showcasing the vital role of postal services in connecting people across vast distances. This print, created by renowned artist William Barnes Wollen, transports us back to a time when horses were the lifeblood of transportation. In this image, we witness a group of mail carriers on horseback racing through an Australian landscape. The intensity on their faces reflects their commitment to delivering letters and parcels promptly. The engraving beautifully depicts the power and grace of these majestic creatures as they gallop with determination. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its historical context. Published in The Illustrated London News in November 1889, it offers a glimpse into an era when communication relied heavily on physical mail delivery rather than instant digital messaging. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded of how far our methods of communication have evolved over time. It serves as a tribute to those who dedicated themselves to ensuring that messages reached their intended recipients efficiently. 'Here Comes the Mail!' is more than just an engraving; it encapsulates a moment frozen in time—a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance.
