An Afro-American postman delivering the US mail in suburban Long Beach, California, USA in 1972. He has with him a stylish, leather 4-wheeled, push hand-cart or trolley rather than the traditional shoulder satchel. A wide-brimmed, sun protection hat is part of the uniform. A mail carrier, mailman, mailwoman, postal carrier, postman, postwoman, or letter carrier sometimes known as a ‘postie’, is an employee of a post office or postal service, who delivers mail and parcel post to residences and businesses. The term ‘mail carrier’ has become to be used as a gender-neutral substitute for ‘mailman’ soon after women began performing the job. The United States Postal Service (USPS, the Post Office, US Mail, or Postal Service) is an independent agency of the federal government. This image is from an old American Kodak amateur colour transparency. It will look slightly soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1970s photograph.
