EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a postman's daily life in the late 19th century United States. In this wintry scene, we witness a French School postman diligently delivering mail amidst the snowy landscape. The vibrant colours of this lithograph bring to life the charm and nostalgia of an era long gone. Bundled up against the biting cold, our postman bravely navigates his way through thick snowdrifts with his trusty canine companion by his side. The American flag proudly flutters in the background, symbolizing both patriotism and unity as he carries out his duties. This image is part of a series created for Chocolat Carpentier, a renowned chocolate manufacturer that cleverly used promotional cards to showcase different countries' mail services. It serves as an advertisement for their delectable chocolates while also highlighting the importance of communication and postal services during that time. The quaint log cabin nestled among towering trees adds to the picturesque scenery, evoking feelings of warmth and comfort despite the harsh winter conditions. This snapshot provides us with a glimpse into daily life in North America during this period - where dedicated postmen braved all elements to ensure timely delivery of letters and packages across vast distances. As we admire this vintage trade card turned work-of-art, it reminds us not only of how far we have come technologically but also pays homage to those unsung heroes who played vital roles in connecting communities through written correspondence.
