Reginald Marsh is, I believe, the most well-known artist I’ve encountered thus far in my post office muralist exploration. He painted two murals — or one mural with two panels (tomato tomato) in Washington DC. Marsh was also a photographer. The Smithsonian American Art Museum holds at least 96 of his pieces. You can also see some of his works at the Whitney’s website.

COVID Cards
The United States Postal Service has been hit hard by the pandemic. Controlling elements of the Federal Government (the president and Republican Senate) do not want to provide aid to the service. So, it’s up to us. It may seem insignificant, but if we all sent just a few letters a week, we could help ensure that our daily, free mail delivery service continues. For the past (see the card number above) days, I have drawn a card each day and mailed it to someone the next day (none are sent on Sundays; two are sent on Mondays). Please consider mailing cards and letters while we still can for 55 cents (first class letter postage). If the USPS fails, you could find it costs $8 or more to send a letter. And that’s just one of the ways we will all lose if the USPS shuts down.
