EDITORS COMMENTS
A Postman of 1813, by Ethel Parkinson (1902) This evocative image, titled "A Postman of 1813," is a beautiful work of art by English painter Ethel Parkinson, created in 1902. The scene depicts a postman in traditional attire, standing before a quaint, red-brick cottage door, poised to knock and deliver the mail. The postman wears a blue coat, a red waistcoat, and a tall, peaked hat adorned with a badge. In his hands, he carries a satchel slung over one shoulder, filled with letters and parcels waiting to be delivered to eagerly anticipating recipients. The setting of the painting transports us back in time to the early 19th century, with the cobblestone street, quaint houses, and lush greenery all contributing to the idyllic atmosphere. The postman's determined expression and the sense of anticipation in the scene underscore the importance of the mail delivery system during this era, when communication was often limited and relied heavily on the postal service. Ethel Parkinson's masterful use of light and color brings this scene to life, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the enduring role of the postman in connecting people through the delivery of their mail. This work of art is a testament to the rich history of mail delivery and the enduring human connection it fosters.
