POSTAL MESSENGERS, 1911 - A Glimpse into the Young and Ambitious Riders of Norfolk
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a young group of Postal Messengers in Norfolk, Virginia, back in June 1911. Taken by renowned photographer Lewis Hine, this image provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these adolescent messengers who played an essential role in delivering mail across the city. Dressed smartly in their postal uniforms and donning hats to shield them from the sun's rays, these determined riders stand proudly beside their bicycles on a bustling sidewalk. The sepia tones add a touch of nostalgia to this turn-of-the-century scene, transporting us back to an era when communication relied heavily on telegraphs and postal services. These young workers were part of America's working class at its finest – dedicated individuals who braved long hours and challenging conditions to ensure that letters reached their intended recipients promptly. Their presence on the streets was not only symbolic but also demonstrated how even at such tender ages they contributed significantly to society. As we gaze upon this historical print by The Granger Collection, it serves as a reminder of both progress made since then and challenges still faced today. Let us appreciate the dedication shown by these early postal messengers while acknowledging our gratitude for advancements that have improved working conditions for future generations.
