EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph print titled "Rural Postman, South Africa" by Thomas Somerfield transports us to a simpler time in the early 20th century. The image depicts a postman on his rounds in the rural landscapes of South Africa, delivering mail and connecting people across vast distances.
The vibrant colours and intricate details bring to life the daily routine of this essential figure in the community. As he travels through dusty roads and lush fields, he carries not just letters and parcels, but also stories and news that bind families together.
This artwork is part of a series illustrating the wonders of postal communication, showcasing the importance of staying connected even in remote areas. The artist's skillful hand captures both the beauty of the African landscape and the resilience of its people.
In an era before digital technology dominated our lives, images like this remind us of the human touch behind every message delivered. It serves as a poignant reminder of how communication has evolved over time while highlighting the timeless role played by dedicated individuals like this rural postman.
