EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a moment in time from 1887, showing a little boy diligently completing his domestic chore of posting a letter. The scene takes place at Bowlers Green in Surrey, where the young child can be seen stretching to reach the letter box before him. Interestingly, this image predates the iconic red color that we now associate with letter boxes, adding an extra layer of historical significance.
The innocence and simplicity of childhood are beautifully portrayed in this snapshot from over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when children were entrusted with important tasks like mailing letters for their families. The boy's concentration and determination are evident as he carries out his duty with care and precision.
Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the past and witness how daily routines have evolved over time. It is moments like these that make history come alive and allow us to appreciate the traditions that have shaped our present-day practices.
Overall, this print is not just a visual delight but also a poignant reminder of bygone eras when even simple acts like posting letters held great significance in people's lives.
