EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph from circa 1910, a Huntley Delivery Boy is captured in the midst of a playful snowball fight. Dressed in a crisp uniform adorned with the distinctive red and gold logo of Huntley & Palmers, the delivery boy carries a wicker basket slung over one shoulder, balancing a large goose and a box of Huntley & Palmers Dessert Biscuits with practiced ease. The goose, wrapped in twine and nestled among the biscuit tins, appears to be a prized delivery, its plump form a stark contrast to the wintery landscape. The delivery boy has paused in his route, momentarily forgetting his duties to engage in a snowball fight with a group of children clad in thick coats and scarves. The children, their rosy cheeks and laughter frozen in time, stand around a post or pillar, their hands shielding their faces from the icy projectiles. A red postbox, adorned with the Royal Mail logo, sits nearby, adding a touch of British tradition to the scene. The Huntley & Palmers Dessert Biscuits, a popular treat during the early 20th century, are visible in the open box, their golden hue a beacon of warmth and sweetness amidst the wintry backdrop. The delivery boy's expression is one of pure joy, a reminder that even the most mundane tasks can be made light-hearted and fun. This delightful image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time when snowball fights and goose deliveries were part of everyday life.
