The color lithograph, created by the French School in the 20th century, showcases the resourcefulness and adaptability of these dedicated postal workers. In this picturesque winter landscape, we see postmen clad in capes and scarves, braving the snowy terrain as they glide effortlessly on skis. Their determination to deliver mail even in harsh weather conditions is truly commendable. This illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Journal on January 15,1911. The image evokes a sense of awe and admiration for these brave individuals who navigate through the majestic mountains to fulfill their duties. It serves as a testament to both their commitment to service and their ability to embrace innovative methods for efficient delivery. The French culture shines through this artwork, showcasing not only its stunning natural landscapes but also its dedication to providing reliable postal services even in challenging environments. The combination of traditional attire with modern skiing equipment creates an intriguing juxtaposition that highlights both tradition and progress.
