EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a postman in Persia during the late 19th century. The color litho, created by the French School, showcases the daily life of this postal worker as he diligently delivers mail throughout the bustling streets. The flag displayed in the image represents the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, who introduced postal and telegraph services into Persia. The white flag with a green border on three sides features a prominent lion and emblem at its center. This historical detail adds depth to an already fascinating scene. Originally produced as promotional cards for Chocolat Carpentier, a renowned chocolate manufacturer, this vintage card offers a glimpse into Persian culture and communication during that era. It beautifully combines elements of advertisement, advertising, trade cards, and publicizing through its depiction of a busy bazaar street. The postman himself is dressed in traditional attire with his distinctive fez hat and elegant robe-like clothing. He carries letters securely tucked under his arm while navigating through vibrant market stalls filled with various goods. This remarkable photograph not only highlights the importance of communication but also provides insight into everyday life in Iran at that time. It serves as a testament to both cultural heritage and technological advancements brought about by Naser al-Din Shah Qajar's dynasty. Overall, this stunning image immerses viewers in an enchanting moment from history when mail delivery played an essential role in connecting people across Persia's diverse landscape.
