EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Collecting the Letters" takes us back in time to early 20th century rural England. The image showcases a charming scene of a mail van parked amidst picturesque countryside, surrounded by rolling hills and quaint cottages. The vibrant colors of this colour litho print bring to life the era's beloved automobiles and their engines. Signed by T Steerwood, this illustration was originally featured in "A Book of Engines" published by Blackie around 1930. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we are transported to an age when postal delivery was still a cherished tradition. The Royal Mail played a vital role in connecting people across vast distances, bridging communities with its reliable service. In this idyllic setting, we witness the collection of letters - an essential task for ensuring communication between loved ones near and far. The postman diligently loads his motorcar with precious parcels and envelopes that hold stories waiting to be shared. This image captures not only a means of transport but also evokes feelings of nostalgia and simplicity. It reminds us of a time when cars were symbols of progress yet retained their charm within the tranquil beauty of rural landscapes. With every glance at this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that even in our fast-paced world today, there is something magical about receiving handwritten letters that connect hearts across time and space.
