The First Post Office - A Humorous Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The First Post Office" takes us on a delightful journey back in time. Created by the talented artist Arthur Moreland in 1917, this engraving is an illustration for his book "The History of the Hun". With its amusing and comical depiction, it offers a unique perspective on historical events. In this image, we witness a scene filled with humor and wit. Set against the backdrop of Germany in 1866, during the reign of Prince Turn, we see a bustling post office where hilarity ensues. Count de la Torre, a German nobleman known for his eccentricities, stands at the center of attention as he attempts to navigate through an array of quirky characters and situations. Moreland's artistic style brings out every detail with precision and charm. The comic elements are enhanced by clever dialogue bubbles that add another layer of entertainment to this already amusing composition. As we explore this snapshot from history, it becomes clear that Moreland has skillfully blended fact with fiction to create an entertaining narrative. Through his artistry, he invites us to reflect upon not only the humorous aspects but also the cultural nuances present within European society during that era. "The First Post Office" is undoubtedly a treasure trove for those who appreciate both history and comedy. It serves as a reminder that even amidst significant events such as wars or political changes, there is always room for laughter and amusement –
