This vibrant and captivating print captures a delightful moment in late 19th century Holland. In this charming scene, we see a postman engaged in conversation with a woman delivering milk in her trusty dogcart. The image showcases the unique customs and traditions of the time, as milk was traditionally transported using these quaint carts throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. Part of a series of illustrations depicting postal services around the world, this promotional card for Chocolat Carpentier offers us a glimpse into daily life during that era. The French School artist beautifully portrays the interaction between these two individuals, highlighting their distinctive costumes and uniforms. The warm smiles on their faces reflect not only their friendly exchange but also symbolize the strong sense of community prevalent during those times. As they engage in conversation against an idyllic backdrop adorned with flags, it is evident that communication played an essential role in connecting people across different regions. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph print also serves as an advertisement for Chocolat Carpentier. By associating their brand with such nostalgic imagery and everyday moments like mail delivery and milk distribution, they tap into emotions tied to tradition and comfort.
