The Post-Boy
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the rural scenes of 19th-century England. Created by Philip Richard Morris, this print captures the essence of a bygone era when postal workers played a vital role in connecting communities. In this enchanting image, we see a post boy on horseback, diligently carrying out his duties. Dressed in traditional attire and mounted atop his trusty steed, he exudes an air of reliability and dependability. The artist's attention to detail brings every aspect of this scene to life - from the intricate patterns on the post-boy's uniform to the majestic presence of his horse. This illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on November 24th, 1883. It serves as a reminder of how mail delivery once relied upon these dedicated individuals who braved all weather conditions to ensure letters reached their destinations promptly. As we gaze at "The Post-Boy" we are transported into an era where communication was slower but carried with utmost care and dedication. This print not only celebrates the hard work and commitment of postal workers but also invites us to appreciate the beauty found within everyday tasks. With its timeless charm and historical significance, "The Post-Boy" remains an exquisite piece that captures both our imagination and admiration for those who kept our correspondence flowing smoothly long before modern technology took over.
