EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Post office Department, Hupp Auto Railway Service, 1912" by Harris & Ewing, offers a glimpse into the past of American communication technology. The image showcases a mail catcher in action, as a pouch is grabbed by the mechanism in a passing train. This technique, known as "mail on the fly," was a crucial aspect of transportation and communication systems in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Hupp Auto Railway Service was a significant player in this era of transportation, providing mail delivery services via railways. The steam locomotive in the background adds to the nostalgic charm of the image, reminding us of the transformative impact of technology on communication. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze (later married as Martha Ewing Newcombe), was a leading provider of photographic services to various government agencies, including the Postal Service. This image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which showcases an extensive range of glass negatives produced by the studio. The collection is a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in understanding the evolution of communication and transportation in the United States during this period. The photograph's black and white composition adds to its timeless appeal, making it an essential addition to any collection focused on American history, technology, or communication concepts.
