EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Post Boys" by Charles Keene takes us back in time to a bygone era. The image showcases two young boys, exuding innocence and curiosity as they stand side by side. Dressed in their traditional post boy uniforms, complete with hats and satchels slung over their shoulders, these children embody the essence of youthful adventure. Their attentive gazes suggest a sense of responsibility beyond their tender years. Perhaps they are eagerly awaiting the arrival of mail or embarking on an important delivery themselves. This snapshot captures a moment frozen in time, offering a glimpse into the postal service of old. Keene's pen and ink technique adds depth and texture to this charming scene, emphasizing every intricate detail from the folds in their clothing to the shadows cast upon them. The simplicity of this medium allows for focus on the subjects themselves – two boys who represent both innocence and resilience. Displayed within a private collection but made accessible through Fine Art Finder, this artwork serves as a reminder that even mundane tasks can hold beauty when seen through an artistic lens. It invites viewers to reflect on simpler times while appreciating the timeless qualities found within childhood itself.
