EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print takes us back to the late 19th century in Bordeaux, France. In this image, we see a postman gracefully delivering letters while walking on stilts. This peculiar form of transportation was widely adopted by many people in Bordeaux during that time due to the lack of roads and the marshy, uneven terrain. The postman's job was not an easy one, as he had to navigate through challenging conditions to ensure that every letter reached its destination. The illustration beautifully captures the determination and resourcefulness of these postal workers who were committed to providing a reliable mail service despite the obstacles they faced. This image offers a glimpse into a bygone era when public services like mail delivery required innovative solutions. It reminds us of the resilience and adaptability of individuals who found creative ways to overcome geographical limitations. Published in The Strand Magazine in 1897, this historical photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and highlights how different occupations have evolved over time. As we admire this snapshot from French history, let us appreciate the dedication and hard work put forth by those who came before us in shaping our modern world.
