The image, estimated to have been taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, offers a picturesque and nostalgic view of a moment in Montenegrin history. The scene unfolds in the quaint town of Cetinje, Montenegro, where the arrival of the post is depicted as a social event. The image is filled with a sense of anticipation as locals gather around the post rider, who proudly holds aloft a mailbag, symbolizing the connection to the outside world. The vibrant colors of the photochrom process bring the scene to life, with the red and green uniforms of the postal workers contrasting against the muted tones of the town's stone buildings and the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape.
