EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to a bygone era in Madagascar, when the French colony relied on dedicated postmen to deliver mail across rough and rugged terrain. The image captures the incredible sight of a postman being carried by porters through the challenging countryside, highlighting the lengths that were taken to ensure communication in this remote region.
The historical significance of this photograph is palpable, offering a glimpse into a time before modern transportation methods made such journeys easier. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of those who worked tirelessly to connect communities and deliver important messages.
As we reflect on this snapshot from circa 1960, we are reminded of the vital role that postmen played in shaping Madagascar's history and facilitating communication during a pivotal period. The juxtaposition of the lush landscape with the laborious task at hand creates a striking visual contrast that speaks volumes about the challenges faced by these dedicated individuals.
Mary Evans Prints Online has preserved this piece of history for future generations to appreciate, allowing us to step back in time and marvel at the ingenuity and determination displayed by those who braved rough country to deliver letters and parcels.
