Banks Bills Brings Characters Knocking Letters Petherick Auden
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history with the depiction of a postman from 1870 London. Known as Petherick, this iconic figure was responsible for delivering letters of thanks, joy, and important correspondence from banks to the residents of the bustling city. The image showcases Petherick knocking on a door, ready to bring news that could range from receipted bills to invitations that would brighten someone's day.
The Postman (Petherick) is one of many characters who played a vital role in the communication industry during this era. His presence symbolizes not only the delivery of physical mail but also connections between people and communities. As W.H Auden once wrote, "the POSTMAN brings letters of thanks, letters from banks, letters of joy from girl and boy." This quote perfectly encapsulates the essence of what this postman represented - bringing both practical and emotional messages to those he served.
Through this historical print by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to witness an essential aspect of daily life in Victorian London. It serves as a reminder of how communication has evolved over centuries while highlighting the enduring importance of human connection through written correspondence.
