Mail Delivery (sculptures)
''Mail Delivery'' is a set of four relief sculptures by Edmond Amateis made in 1941 for the Works Progress Administration and displayed at the U.S. Court House and Post Office Building in Philadelphia, now called the Robert N. C. Nix, Sr., Federal Building, at 9th and Market Streets. The reliefs are carved in granite and each measures about in height by in width.
The reliefs show the efforts of postal carriers delivering mail to the "four corners" of America. The ''East'' and ''West'' reliefs flank an entrance on 9th Street near Market Street. The ''North'' and ''South'' reliefs flank an entrance further south on 9th Street near Chestnut Street. Noted photographer and former Philadelphian Carol M. Highsmith photographed the reliefs as part of an assignment for the U.S. General Services Administration.〔(Highsmith ), Mail Delivery - North, accessed 2012/01/03.〕〔(Highsmith ), Mail Delivery - West, accessed 2012/01/03.〕〔( Highsmith ), Mail Delivery - South, accessed 2012/01/03.〕〔( Highsmith ), Mail Delivery - East, accessed 2012/01/03.〕
==East==
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.〔(SIRIS ) Mail Delivery (East - Eastern Mailman - One of Four), (sculpture), Smithsonian Institution, accessed 2012/01/03.〕
