EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in late 19th century Korea, showcasing the important role of a postman in delivering letters. The image, rendered in vibrant colors through lithography by the French School, is part of a series depicting postal services around the world. Originally created as promotional cards for Chocolat Carpentier, a renowned chocolate manufacturer, this particular print showcases "La Poste en Coree". The postman featured in the photograph is dressed in traditional Korean attire and can be seen diligently carrying out his duties. With an advertisement flag proudly displayed on his shoulder and a pipe clenched between his teeth, he exudes an air of professionalism and dedication to his task. This vintage card not only serves as an advertising tool but also provides us with a glimpse into daily life during that era. It highlights the significance of communication and mail delivery as essential components of society's fabric. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from their private collection. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, let us appreciate the timeless beauty it holds and reflect on how far we have come in terms of technology and modernization while cherishing our rich cultural heritage.
