EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of long-distance communication in the 17th century, as depicted in a historic print titled "Postal Courier, C17: Capt. Bedlow carrying letters to Forraigne Parts, 1684." The scene showcases Captain Bedlow, a postal courier of the English Post Office, diligently making his way through an unfamiliar landscape while carrying a heavy satchel filled with letters. The year is 1684, a time when the exchange of information between distant lands was a laborious and often perilous endeavor. The print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insights into the methods and challenges of postal communication during this era. The image conveys the importance of the role of the postal courier, who was responsible for delivering time-sensitive correspondence across vast distances. Captain Bedlow's attire, featuring a tricorn hat, a long coat, and a sword at his side, speaks to the military origins of the postal service. The English Post Office, established in 1512, was initially a part of the military apparatus, tasked with delivering messages for the monarch and the military commanders. As Captain Bedlow traverses the rugged terrain, he is likely to encounter various obstacles, such as inclement weather, bandits, and other hazards. Despite these challenges, he remains focused on his mission, symbolizing the unwavering commitment of those who facilitated communication between distant lands during this period. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of postal communication and the crucial role it played in shaping the world we live in today. It stands as a testament to the human spirit and our innate desire to connect with one another, no matter the distance or the challenges that lie in our path.
