EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1924, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in Baltimore's history. The image showcases the first air mail box ever installed in the city, and a woman is seen mailing a package into it with great care. The scene exudes an aura of excitement and novelty as the concept of air mail was still relatively new at that time. This snapshot captures the early days of aviation when sending packages through the sky seemed like something out of a futuristic dream. The unidentified woman stands elegantly before the mailbox, dressed in typical flapper fashion with her stylish hat adding a touch of sophistication to her appearance. Her poised demeanor suggests that she understands the significance of this momentous occasion. This photograph not only documents an important milestone for Baltimore but also serves as a testament to how daily life has evolved over time. It reminds us of how far we have come technologically since then, where now we can send messages and packages across continents within seconds. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this print allows us to appreciate our past while reflecting on our present achievements. It serves as a reminder that progress is constant and that even seemingly small advancements can shape our world in profound ways.
