EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a moment in history at Bowlers Green, Surrey, where a young boy is seen stretching to post a letter in the country letter box. The year was 1887, before all letter boxes were painted red as we know them today. This image offers a glimpse into the past when communication relied on physical letters being sent and received through these iconic boxes.
The scene is filled with nostalgia and historical significance, showcasing the importance of written correspondence in days gone by. The boy's determination to reach the slot and send his message adds a touch of innocence and simplicity to this snapshot of life in rural Surrey.
As we reflect on this image from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of how far technology has come since then, yet there is something timeless about the act of posting a letter that still resonates with us today. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experience across generations and highlights the enduring value of handwritten communication.
In this age of instant messaging and emails, let us pause for a moment to appreciate the beauty and tradition captured in this historical photograph of a simple country letter box in Surrey.
