Balding Chin Counter Double Dressed Manager Messengers Queue Satchels Smartly Telegram Telegrams Telegraph Uniforms 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time from 1937, showcasing four young telegraph boys eagerly awaiting their next assignment. Dressed in smart uniforms complete with hats and satchels, these messengers exude a sense of professionalism and duty as they queue up at the counter to receive their telegrams from the manager.
Each boy has a unique expression on his face - one appears thoughtful, another slightly apprehensive, while another seems eager to get started on his delivery. The balding manager stands behind the counter, overseeing the operation with a watchful eye.
In an era before instant messaging and emails, these young boys played a crucial role in communications by delivering important messages across town. Their dedication to their job is evident in the way they stand tall and await their instructions.
This image serves as a reminder of simpler times when communication was slower but perhaps more personal. It offers us a glimpse into history and allows us to appreciate the hard work and commitment of these young individuals who were essential cogs in the wheel of communication during the 1930s.
