Airmail is a 4-by-8-foot (1.2 × 2.4 m) fresco painting by American artist Edwin Boyd Johnson. Located in Melrose Park, Illinois, it was painted in 1937, in what was then the village's post office, and has since become its public library. The fresco features a giant barefoot and bare-chested male mailman flying over a town scene whilst holding a winged letter. An airplane is seen in the skies behind him. This was chosen as Melrose Park was one of the first airmail facilities used by the United States Post Service and the fresco was painted to commemorate it.
