For unknown reasons, I first thought that was a picture of a French horn on the post-box :shrug:, but now I found there was really such a thing as a post-horn. They used them for safety on the carriages that carried the mail, and everyone had to get out of the way because they went very fast; it was like a siren.

I guess I knew that when people were in a hurry in French novels, they rode in the post-carriage, but I didn't quite consider the urgency (it makes sense though, before the telegraph and everything else). Now we truly know the meaning of 'post-haste'! :giggle:
