EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Kaiserlicher Ober-PostDirection' and captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1904 and 1938, offers a glimpse into Europe's rich history during the 20th century. The image, now part of the prestigious Library of Congress collection, depicts the grandeur of a European post office, specifically located in Hamburg, Germany. The photograph captures the exterior of the post office building, with its intricate architectural details and ornate columns, standing proudly against the backdrop of a bustling cityscape. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of horsemen and horses, adding an element of tradition and communication from a bygone era. Soldiers, likely on duty, can be seen in the foreground, adding a sense of military presence and order. The photograph, taken as a nitrate negative, beautifully showcases the contrast between the white and black elements, highlighting the intricacies of the building's design and the textures of the horses and riders. This image offers a unique perspective into Europe's past, showcasing the intersection of old and new, tradition and modernity, and the enduring role of communication in connecting people and countries. Arnold Genthe, an American photographer, captured this image during a time of significant change in Europe, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical photographs. This photograph not only showcases the beauty and complexity of European architecture but also offers a glimpse into the daily life and communication networks of the time.
