Description
This program by Hatem El Mekki illustrates the modernization of Tunisian public services through the introduction of the postal code. The refined graphics feature a hand slipping a letter into an envelope where the four symbolic numbers (1, 2, 3, 4) become the engine of speed. The message “Postcode = Mail + Fast” highlights a key stage in the administrative and technological organization of the country, aimed at facilitating communication and exchanges within a growing nation. It is a tribute to the effectiveness of Tunisian postal institutions as a vector of social ties and economic development.
