EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving, we are transported back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The scene depicts a woman engaging in a simple yet significant act: paying and putting a letter into the bag carried by a British Royal Post Office employee. This charming print is based on an original painting by Thomas Rowlandson, showcasing his keen eye for capturing everyday moments with exquisite detail. The woman stands on the cobblestone street, her face filled with determination as she hands over payment for her correspondence. The postman, dressed in his distinctive uniform, holds out his bag to receive the letter. Both figures are frozen in time amidst the lively backdrop of London's urban landscape. This engraving not only showcases the intricate craftsmanship of its creator but also serves as a testament to the importance of communication during this era. In an age before instant messaging and email, sending letters was essential for staying connected and sharing news across distances. Published in 1883 as part of "The Cris of London" series by Andrew Tuer, this artwork offers us a glimpse into history and reminds us of how much has changed since then. It is a beautiful representation of both artistry and nostalgia that continues to captivate viewers even today.
