EDITORS COMMENTS
Two postmen stroll down Royal York Crescent in Bristol, 29th May 1954. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the charm and character of Bristol's streets in the mid-20th century. The image, taken by renowned photographer Joseph McKeown for Picture Post magazine, is part of a series exploring the best and worst of British cities. In this particular shot, we see two postal workers leisurely making their way down the historic Royal York Crescent. With their post bags slung over their shoulders and straight faces focused on their task at hand, they epitomize the dedicated work ethic that has been synonymous with Britain's postal service for generations. The composition of the photograph is strikingly beautiful - a perfect blend of landscape format and slow walking subjects. It invites viewers to take a step back in time and immerse themselves in the bustling streets of Bristol during an era when mail was still delivered by hand. This archival piece not only showcases McKeown's exceptional talent but also serves as a reminder of how much our cities have evolved over time. It evokes nostalgia while celebrating an essential aspect of everyday life – mail delivery – which continues to play a vital role even in today's digital age.
