EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Post-Office International Christmas Greetings" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of a time when sending holiday greetings through postal services was a cherished tradition. The image showcases a bustling post office scene, filled with people from different corners of the world eagerly exchanging Christmas cards. The intricate details in this print allow us to explore various aspects of international communication during that era. From Constantinople to Barbadoes, London to Rome, Cologne to Berlin, and even as far as Colombo and Lisbon, this artwork depicts how Christmas greetings transcended borders and connected people across Europe, Turkey, the Middle East, Scandinavia, and North America. The lively streets of old Berlin come alive in this illustration as German locals engage in festive exchanges with their counterparts from around the globe. It's fascinating to witness these interactions between diverse cultures - Germans embracing their own traditions while also embracing those brought by visitors from afar. This engraving serves as a visual reminder of how important it is for humanity to connect and share joyous moments regardless of geographical boundaries. As we admire this historical artwork today, let us be inspired by its message: that spreading love and goodwill during Christmastime knows no limits or barriers.
