Today's #PhotoOfTheDay shows a mailman delivering letters to a woman, probably the farmer's wife or daughter. In early 20th century Australia communications were a lengthy process. Fanning out from scattered mail drops teams of horsemen delivered mail to the eagerly expectant farms and stations. The arrival of the mailman was a very welcome occurrence.

This photographic negative was published by the Sydney firm Charles Kerry & Co. and is part of the Powerhouse Museum's Tyrrell collection which contains over 2,900 glass plate negatives by Kerry & Co. Although a few appear to be from the 1880s most were produced between 1892 and 1917. Over this period, and well into the early 1900s, prints from these negatives appeared in many Australian publications and albums of views. In 1903 the company began producing postcards from these negatives, further establishing the images as some of the most significant and best known early views of New South Wales.#POTD #MAAScollection #KerryAndCo #Straya #HowGoodArePosties
