Title
English Mail Day
Description
Estcourt kept a sketchbook and journal during the joint boundary commission. Here he shows a man writing by candlelight in his tent, with survey equipment at his side. It took several weeks for mail to cross the Atlantic by ship, and Estcourt always anxiously awaited its delivery.
