POSTMAN, 1939 - Capturing the Essence of Daily Life in Oklahoma City
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph from 1939 takes us back to a simpler time when mail delivery was an integral part of daily life. The image showcases a postman patiently waiting at the terminal in Oklahoma City, his equipment neatly arranged beside him. With his mailbag slung over one shoulder and his profile turned towards the camera, he exudes a sense of dedication and professionalism. Photographed by Russell Lee as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the early days of America's postal service during the New Deal era. It serves as a reminder of how essential these workers were in connecting communities across the vast Southwestern region. The setting itself adds another layer to this historical piece. A streetcar can be seen behind our postman, symbolizing both progress and tradition. As he waits for his ride to begin his rounds, we are reminded that even amidst technological advancements, some aspects of daily life remain unchanged. This print is not just an artistic representation; it encapsulates an important chapter in American history. Through its simplicity and attention to detail, it immortalizes the hardworking individuals who played crucial roles in keeping communication alive during times of great change.
