London Post Officers

Another one of a collection of old shoe-box black and white prints from the family archives. The scratches to this picture proved to difficult (without dedicated too much time) to remove without loosing original detail, so for the sake of presentation I have left this picture untouched. (I may revisit these old black and white pictures in an attempt to clean them further – perhaps when I acquire Photoshop CS4).

Here my great granddad and his work colleague on the job with their errands worth of mail, in those days Post Officers were regarded with high renown and dressed in a much smarter garb. Honestly speaking, if I could walk around dressed like that, and be awarded, on a daily basis, the respect these people were, I would happily sign up.
