Post Man Delivering Mail USPO (1903)

This film one in a seemingly endless series of films made by American Mutoscope Biograph for the United States Post Office stands out by virtue of the fact that it comes across as a little slice of Americana circa 1903 We have white picket fences in front of which a hen slowly struts as the film opens and a housewife in a long dress and white bonnet coming out to buy stamps from a bowtied postman who has delivered a letter to her mailbox
