EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to a winter's day in Bough Beech, Kent on the 28th of December, 1962. The image features a postman, clad in his traditional uniform, braving the elements as he goes about his daily duties. With snow covering the ground and icicles hanging from nearby branches, it is evident that this postman faces challenging conditions during his rounds. The postman stands proudly next to his trusty bicycle, which serves as both transportation and storage for the mail he delivers. His glasses perch upon his nose, perhaps aiding him in reading addresses or protecting his eyes from the cold wind. Despite the harsh weather conditions depicted in this scene, there is an air of determination and resilience emanating from our protagonist. This evocative photograph was taken by General and has been preserved through time as a testament to the dedicated postal workers who have served communities throughout history. It captures not only a specific moment but also represents an era when handwritten letters were still prevalent means of communication. As we gaze at this frozen snapshot of history, we are reminded of the importance of those who diligently deliver our mail regardless of rain or shine – individuals like this postman at Bough Beech whose commitment ensures that messages continue to reach their intended recipients even amidst nature's challenges.
