EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a postman diligently delivering a letter in the Dutch East Indies during the late 19th century. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the rich history and cultural significance of this colonial era. The Dutch East Indies, known as Nederlands-Indië in Dutch and Hindia-Belanda in Indonesian, was a former Dutch colony that eventually became modern-day Indonesia after World War II. This image is part of a series of illustrations showcasing postal services from around the world, created as promotional cards for Chocolat Carpentier, a renowned chocolate manufacturer. In this scene, we see the postman dressed in traditional Dutch attire riding on horseback through lush landscapes. His uniform proudly displays both the flag of Holland and the emblem of his postal service. With determination etched on his face, he ensures that every letter reaches its intended recipient promptly. This print not only serves as an advertisement for Chocolat Carpentier but also offers us a glimpse into daily life during this time period. It highlights how essential mail delivery was even amidst unfamiliar territories. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the importance placed on communication and connection throughout history. Whether it be through letters or chocolates like those produced by Chocolat Carpentier, these small gestures have always played significant roles in our lives – bridging distances and bringing joy to recipients near and far.
