Mail Delivery (sculptures)

A fairly traditional 1940s scene represents the East. A postal carrier is dressed in a double-breasted uniform jacket and small round cap. He is bent over, like all the subjects in the reliefs, in this case over the front bumper of car and a mailbox attached to a fluted column. With his right hand he reaches toward the mailbox and he carries a mail pouch slung over his left shoulder. Another fluted column and the leaves of a tree complete the scene. ==West==

A "Wild West" scene represents the West. A cowboy dressed in chaps, cowboy boots, a shirt and bandanna, and heavy gloves delivers letters to rural mailboxes. His cowboy hat in his right hand rests on his right hip. Three or four cacti complete the scene. ==North==

An Arctic scene represents the North. An Eskimo dressed in a hooded parka bends over his dog sled, which is loaded with mail bags. He reaches over the two sled dogs with his right hand and holds a whip in his left. Two bare trees complete the scene. ==South==

A scene from the Panama Canal Zone represents the South. A bare-chested man of African descent dressed in only a pair of trousers delivers mail to a rural mailbox. He is bending over, carrying a bag of mail over his right shoulder and lifting a bundle of mail with his left hand. Two palm trees, a large cluster of bananas and a pineapple complete the scene. ==See also==
