Notes
In the early 1930s the Postal Services commissioned a number of South African artists to design murals for the main hall and public concourses of the new Post Office in Jeppe Street, Johannesburg. Sydney Carter submitted this watercolour. It illustrates part of the motto, By road, rail, sea and air that is carved on the façade of the building.
