EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a postman in London during the 1920s. The postman, with a friendly smile on his face and a direct gaze, represents the hardworking spirit of Britain's postal service. His neatly groomed moustache adds to his distinguished appearance. The postman is depicted in a head and shoulders portrait, wearing his traditional headgear - a cap that signifies his occupation. This image showcases not only an individual but also reflects the larger concept of dedicated men who tirelessly delivered mail throughout England's bustling capital city. Taken from the publication "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published by Amalgamated Press in 1926-1927, this photogravure print transports us back to an era when handwritten letters were cherished means of communication. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this image, reminding us of how much has changed over time while preserving the importance of human connection through correspondence. As we observe this unknown postman frozen in time, we are reminded of the vital role he played in connecting people across London. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation capturing one man's profession within early 20th-century British society. It allows us to appreciate not only the physicality but also the significance behind each job that contributes to shaping our cities and communities.
