EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "The Village Post Office" we are transported back in time to a quaint Victorian era village. The scene is bustling with activity as men, women, and children gather around the post office. A sense of trepidation fills the air, evident from the frightened expressions on their faces. A stoic postman stands at the center of attention, holding his walking stick firmly in hand. His trusty horse waits patiently by his side while other horses graze nearby. These majestic animals add an element of wildlife to the otherwise serene countryside setting. As our eyes wander through the image, we notice a dog playfully chasing its tail amidst all the commotion. Its presence brings a touch of lightheartedness to an otherwise tense atmosphere. "The Village Post Office" captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides us with glimpses into rural life during that period. It serves as a reminder of how important communication was even then when technology had yet to dominate our lives. This remarkable print showcases William Frederick Witherington's talent for capturing human emotions and animal behavior alike. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, it is no wonder why this piece has found its place within private collections worldwide.
