Coming out of the Post Office
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming illustration by Charles Robinson, dated 1906, depicting a young girl in a red dress and muff, engrossed in the task of preparing a letter for mailing. The scene takes place outside a bustling post office, where the girl's excited expression stands in stark contrast to the crowded and busy surroundings. In her small hands, she holds an envelope, its edges creased from careful folding. Her eyes are focused intently on the stamp affixed to the letter's upper right corner. With a determined look, she licks the stamp, her tongue tracing the edges with practiced ease. The postage paid, she seals the envelope with a small piece of wax and a seal, leaving a distinctive impression of a boy and girl holding hands. The girl's outfit is reminiscent of the holiday season, with her tartan checked hat and cap adding a festive touch to the scene. A young boy, also dressed in winter clothing, waits patiently nearby, perhaps eager to send a letter of his own. The post office, with its high ceilings and ornate columns, is a testament to the importance of communication during this era. This illustration captures the essence of anticipation and excitement that comes with sending and receiving letters, a tradition that continues to hold a special place in our hearts even in the digital age. The young girl's determination to send her letter, despite the crowded post office, is a reminder of the enduring power of human connection and the importance of taking the time to express our thoughts and feelings to those we care about.
