Posting Letters at Christmas: A Traditional Scene by Charles Robinson, circa 1910 In this charming illustration by Charles Robinson, a group of children huddle together in the wintry cold, eagerly posting their Christmas cards and letters at a post box adorned with holly and ivy. The scene is set in the early 1900s, a time when sending Christmas greetings through the post was a cherished tradition. The children are bundled up against the cold, some wearing knitted hats and scarves, while others clutch their letters and cards tightly in their gloved hands. The postmaster, dressed in his uniform, looks on approvingly from behind the counter, a smile playing on his lips as he helps the youngest child post her letter. Snow covers the ground outside, adding to the festive atmosphere and enhancing the sense of anticipation and excitement. The post office, with its red brick walls and frosted windows, stands as a symbol of connection and communication during the holiday season. This illustration captures the essence of the Christmas spirit, as families and friends sent messages of love and goodwill to one another, no matter the distance. The simple act of posting a letter or card was a way to bridge the gap between loved ones and spread joy and cheer during the most wonderful time of the year.
