The caption's reference to a mail strike sets this piece apart, and its phrasing, "And now this one," suggests it was one of a series of images shown or published in succession. The record does not name the maker or the exact date, so the specific occasion remains uncertain. The best-known American postal stoppage was the wildcat walkout that began in New York in March 1970, when workers across several cities stopped over pay and conditions, National Guard units were called in to move mail, and the dispute led to the Postal Reorganization Act later that year. Images tied to such disputes often used humor or pointed commentary to express public frustration with delays.
