Description: | In the early 1930s, postmen wore a dark blue uniform with red piping on the trousers. The 'shako' peaked cap, with a badge on the front declaring 'General Post Office', was replaced in 1932 by a flat peaked cap.
The unknown photographer who captured this image used a 35-millimetre camera, and produced hundreds of photos of individuals walking along Sutton High Street. The photographer usually waited until the subject became aware of the camera before seizing the portrait. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Cityscape | Temporal: | 1931-1935 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
