EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Post office Department - Motor Cycle Postman, 1912," is a fascinating glimpse into the past of American communication history. Created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, this image showcases a motorcycle postman in the United States, delivering mail in the early 1910s. The postman, dressed in a crisp uniform and wearing a protective helmet, confidently rides his motorbike, with a satchel full of mail slung over his shoulder. The image captures the sense of innovation and progress that came with the introduction of motorcycle postal delivery services, which revolutionized the way mail was transported across long distances. The photograph was taken in front of a postbox or mailbox, likely a pillar box, which adds to the sense of tradition and continuity in the face of new technology. This image is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the history of communication, transportation, or the postal service in America during the 20th century. The Harris & Ewing studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading photography studio in Washington D.C. during the early 1900s, known for its high-quality glass negatives. This photograph is a testament to their skill and vision, and a reminder of the important role that postal services played in connecting people and communities across the country.
