EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of British occupied India in 1868. The image, originally published in Paris that same year, showcases the efficient delivery system of the Royal Mail during this era. In the foreground, a majestic horse-drawn cart is seen carrying an abundance of letters and parcels. The coachmen skillfully navigate through the crowded streets as they make their way towards their destinations. These dedicated men are dressed in traditional English attire, representing the influence of British colonial rule on Indian soil. The scene captures a moment frozen in time - a glimpse into the daily life and services provided by these mailmen who ensured that communication flowed smoothly across vast distances within India's diverse landscape. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in its artistic representation. The intricate details captured by Ken Welsh bring to life the essence of 19th-century India under British occupation. As we admire this remarkable illustration, we are reminded of how far postal services have come since then. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to connect people through written correspondence even amidst challenging circumstances.
