EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage image of the Post Office in Branscombe, Devon, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. This photograph, likely captured between the Victorian and Edwardian eras, offers a glimpse into the past with its charming, old-world charm. The red postal sign hanging above the door, the ornate lantern on the post, and the horse-drawn carriage parked nearby all contribute to the scene's early 20th-century ambiance. The post office, with its quaint, whitewashed walls and thatched roof, stands proudly amidst the picturesque village landscape. The image invites us to imagine the daily routines of the postal workers inside, sorting and delivering letters and parcels to the residents of Branscombe. The use of a lantern slide further adds to the nostalgic feel, as this was a popular medium for projecting photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph is not only a beautiful piece of historical art, but it also serves as a reminder of the simpler times and the importance of communication in connecting communities, much like the postal service continues to do today.
