EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint town of Horsham in 1850. The image showcases a postman, dressed impeccably in his uniform, standing proudly against the backdrop of Old Horsham. With its cobbled streets and charming architecture, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the past. The postcard itself is a fascinating artifact from 1906, bearing the postmark of 17 December. It serves as a reminder of how communication has evolved over the years, from handwritten letters delivered by dedicated postal workers like this gentleman to our modern-day instant messaging and email. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Thomas Honywood, whose talent for capturing historical moments shines through in every detail. His keen eye allows us to appreciate not only the subject but also the overall ambiance of Old Horsham during that era. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection under reference number PH 741, this photograph holds immense historical value for both locals and enthusiasts alike. Its existence reminds us of our roots and provides an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come as a society. As we admire this timeless image, let it serve as a tribute to those who came before us – individuals like The Postman in 1850 – who played vital roles in connecting communities and shaping our world through their tireless dedication.
