EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dated 1909, commemorates a historic moment in the world of communication: the inauguration of the "Around the World" monument in Bern, Switzerland. The monument, located in the Kleine Schanze park, was the brainchild of renowned French sculptor René Saint-Marceaux. As the birthplace of the Universal Postal Union, Bern was an fitting location for this grand tribute to the global postal system. The "Around the World" monument, a stunning work of art, symbolizes the interconnectedness of the world through the postal service. The statue features a winged Nike figure, the Greek goddess of victory, holding a globe in one hand and a letter in the other, while a series of figures representing various countries and continents encircle the base. The inauguration ceremony took place on October 4, 1909, and was attended by dignitaries and citizens from around the world. This postcard serves as a testament to the global significance of the postal union and the role it played in bringing people closer together through the exchange of letters and ideas. René Saint-Marceaux, a master sculptor, expertly captured the essence of unity and progress in this magnificent piece. His skillful use of detail and symbolism makes this monument not only a beautiful work of art but also a powerful reminder of the importance of communication and connection in a rapidly changing world.
