For each Tintin album, there are
24, I looked for images with a more or less proven link with the Post Office and the transmission of written messages.
I
have selected one of the 4 categories listed below when it exists in an album.
Category n°1 refers to the Post Office
and n°4 is the farthest from it:
1. Explicit reference to the Post
Office (post office, postman) ;
2. Stamped letter, parcel or telegram ;
3. Letter or parcel that must have been
sent by post (but stamps aren't visible) ;
4. The most basic case and the furthest from the Post Office: transmission of a message or envelope. The message can be left by someone and the enveloppe content isn't necessary a message, e.g. money.
Rule for each album: when there
are several categories in an album, only one category is shown and always the highest category present in the album. Nota: in some albums, there is nothing or just the most basic category...
