EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed color lithograph captures the various methods used to relay post across the world in the early 20th century. From donkeys carrying mailbags to stagecoaches transporting letters, this illustration from Der Mensch und die Erde by Hans Kraemer showcases the diverse ways communication was facilitated in different regions.
The image features a bustling scene with animals like buffalos, camels, and dogs playing crucial roles in delivering messages. A rider on horseback can be seen alongside a Chinese man with a wagon full of parcels, highlighting the global nature of postal services during this time period.
The desert landscape adds an exotic element to the composition, with pyramids in the background hinting at Egypt as one of the locations depicted. The colorful attire of some figures further emphasizes the cultural diversity present in this depiction of worldwide post relaying methods.
Overall, this print is not only visually striking but also serves as a fascinating historical document showcasing how people communicated across vast distances before modern technology revolutionized postal services. It's a reminder of simpler times when handwritten letters traveled far and wide to connect people from all corners of the globe.
