When was the last time you wrote a letter?
It was probably a while ago. Maybe it was in your youth that you wrote your last letter to a pen pal somewhere in Sweden? The pen pal you found in a comic book or Kamratposten and who you started to get to know a little that way. Many people probably have a stack of letters saved in a drawer. The writing went on for a while and you checked the mailbox for a reply letter. As time went on, the letters became fewer. Both the ones you wrote and the ones you received.
The postman.
A more service-oriented profession is to be found. The postman is certainly also exposed to new demands to deliver letters faster. Perhaps one postman has to do the same work that two did before. But the postman is struggling. In rain and shine, snow and sunshine, the mail is still delivered. And most of the errors are eventually corrected by a human. Letters with the wrong address still arrive correctly thanks to their local knowledge.
The picture.
Two postmen standing proudly in front of the post office with the classic post horn emblem on the sign. The year is 1965 and the uniforms are of course the new this year. A variant for the men that has a neat jacket and boater hat. For the ladies a ladies' jacket and skirt. On their heads a peaked cap. A representative outfit that gives the impression of trust and quality. An authority like the post office should of course have staff that dress nicely and neatly.
