EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1886 takes us back in time to the bustling French postal service. In this enchanting engraving, we see a group of diligent women working diligently in the Returned Letter Office. Their task is no small feat - they are determined to find the correct addresses to which returned letters should be sent. The atmosphere in the office is one of focused concentration as these dedicated female employees meticulously sort through stacks of mail. With their sleeves rolled up and pens poised, they embody professionalism and efficiency. The intricate details captured by the artist transport us into their world, where every letter holds a story waiting to be delivered. Le Journal de la Jeunesse (Paris, 1886) has immortalized this snapshot of communication history, showcasing not only the importance of postal services but also highlighting the significant role played by women in this field during that era. This image serves as a testament to their invaluable contribution and challenges societal norms surrounding employment opportunities for females. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we can't help but marvel at how far our means of communication have evolved since then. Yet it's essential never to forget those who paved the way for progress with dedication and perseverance like these remarkable women did over a century ago.
