The Christmas Mail rush is well under way. By the beginning of December, the Post Office expects to be handling over 100 Million Letters, cards, packets and parcels a day - three times the normal load. To help its regular workforce, 100,000 temporary staff have been taken on, preference being given to the unemployed. Also thousands of extra vehicles and buildings have been hired. In this print captured by Bela Zola in November 1972, we get a glimpse into the bustling atmosphere at the Post Office during this festive season. The image showcases dedicated workers tirelessly sorting through stacks of letters and packages with utmost precision and efficiency. The significance of this photograph lies not only in documenting a historical moment but also in highlighting the spirit of unity as people come together to ensure that everyone's holiday wishes are delivered on time. It serves as a reminder of how essential postal services were during an era when physical mail played a vital role in connecting loved ones across distances. Zola's composition beautifully captures both the organized chaos and camaraderie among these unsung heroes who work diligently behind-the-scenes to make our holidays special. As salesmen shift their focus from selling products to delivering joyous greetings, it becomes evident that every letter holds immense sentimental value for someone eagerly awaiting its arrival. This remarkable snapshot from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to simpler times when handwritten letters held deep meaning and brought immeasurable joy during Christmas festivities.
