EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting era of 1900, where post was delivered by donkeys in the picturesque region of Faulhorn, Switzerland. The image is derived from a magical lantern slide, capturing the essence of a bygone postal system that relied on these humble creatures to transport mail through rugged mountainous terrain. In this scene, we see a man dressed in traditional attire leading a group of sturdy donkeys across an expansive field parcel. The majestic mountains serve as an awe-inspiring backdrop, emphasizing both the beauty and challenges faced by those who resided in this remote area. The composition exudes tranquility and simplicity; it transports us to a simpler time when communication was slower but more intimate. Each letter or package carried by these trusty animals held immense value and significance for both sender and recipient. John Short's masterful capture allows us to appreciate not only the natural splendor surrounding Faulhorn but also highlights the resourcefulness and resilience of its inhabitants. This photograph serves as a reminder that progress may have altered our methods of communication, yet there is something undeniably nostalgic about relying on nature's gentle creatures to deliver our heartfelt messages. Displaying this remarkable piece will undoubtedly evoke curiosity and admiration for times gone by while serving as a testament to human ingenuity amidst challenging landscapes.
