EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "A Postal Troika" captures the essence of a bygone era in rural Russia during the early 19th century. The artist, Alexander Orlowski, skillfully depicts a small group of men embarking on a postal journey atop a troika - a traditional Russian carriage pulled by three horses. The image exudes urgency and speed as the men raise their arms in anticipation of their mission. Seated comfortably on the roofed carriage, they communicate with each other while navigating through dusty country roads. The architectural features of thatched rooves add to the rustic charm of this scene. Orlowski's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of both human and animal subjects. The mid-adult men are dressed in period attire, emphasizing their role as postal couriers. Meanwhile, the three horses pulling the troika display natural grace and strength. This lithographic print not only showcases Orlowski's artistic talent but also provides us with a glimpse into an important aspect of 19th-century life - mail delivery in remote areas. It serves as a reminder of how communication was once reliant on physical transportation rather than today's instantaneous digital methods. Overall, "A Postal Troika" is an exquisite piece that transports viewers back to simpler times when mail delivery was an adventure undertaken by dedicated individuals traversing vast landscapes for connection and correspondence.
