EDITORS COMMENTS
"In this intriguing photograph from 1941, a new and unexpected use for a pillar box top is showcased, proving that these iconic postal structures held more than just a protective role for letters. The image, titled "A New Use for Letterboxes," captures a lady taking advantage of the box's top as a cosmetic container while on the go. Dressed elegantly, she gracefully touches up her appearance, demonstrating the versatility of this seemingly mundane object. The historical context of this photograph is significant, as the 1940s marked a time of change and adaptation during World War II. With the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's no surprise that people found creative solutions to enhance their appearance even in the most unconventional places. The pillar box, a symbol of the British postal system and royal heritage, stands proudly in the background. Its red color and ornate design add an air of sophistication to the scene. This image offers a unique glimpse into the past, combining history, appearance, and everyday life in a striking and unexpected way. The photograph, originally taken by Pollinger Ltd and now part of the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the resourcefulness and adaptability of people during challenging times. It serves as a reminder that even the most ordinary objects can hold hidden potential and that a little vanity can brighten up even the most ordinary moments."
