EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "2963031; out of copyright" takes us back in time to a wintry landscape in Victorian England. The scene depicts a horse-drawn postal carriage struggling through a treacherous blizzard, showcasing the arduous journey faced by postal workers during harsh winters. The frozen landscape is covered in thick layers of snow, creating an obstacle-filled path for the brave horses pulling the coach. Despite their best efforts, they find themselves stuck amidst the snowy chaos. The engraving beautifully captures the determination and hard work required to deliver mail under such difficult weather conditions. The image transports us to Birmingham, where this particular postal service was based. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and resilience shown by British postal workers throughout history. This snapshot from another era highlights both the challenges faced by those working in extreme weather conditions and the importance of timely communication even during inclement seasons. As we admire this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of how far our modern postal services have come. This print is not only aesthetically pleasing but also offers us a glimpse into an important aspect of Britain's past – its relentless commitment to delivering mail regardless of any obstacles that may arise along the way.
