EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a postman in Trinidad during the late 19th century. The image, rendered in vibrant color lithography by an anonymous French School artist, showcases the daily life of this important figure in the British colony. Part of a series of promotional cards commissioned by Chocolat Carpentier, a renowned chocolate manufacturer at that time, this particular illustration highlights the postal service in different countries. The card served as an advertisement for the company and features various elements such as flags, stamps, and other symbols associated with communication. In this scene, we see a female postman proudly donning her uniform while delivering mail to eager recipients. Her presence adds a unique touch to this vintage card since it was uncommon for women to hold such positions during that era. The Union Jack flag prominently displayed behind her serves as a reminder of Trinidad's colonial ties to Britain. This charming chromo transports us back in time and provides insight into both historical communication methods and everyday life on the island. A fascinating piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, this print is not only visually appealing but also offers glimpses into marketing strategies employed by companies like Chocolat Carpentier during that period. It serves as a testament to how art can be used effectively for advertising purposes while simultaneously capturing cultural nuances and historical moments.
