Richard Baudet, Marseille, France

Richard Baudet creates envelopes as art with wonderful calligraphy. He uses vintage images. He's included a small work, size of a playing card.

Thanks to Richard for sending in additional work for the exhibit.

Mail from Richard Baudet is always addressed beautifully in a variety of calligraphy styles. On the reverse is my address printed clearly and it's got a French cancellation mark on it.
This side, with the actual postage stamp, but my address done in an Art Nouveau style, with my city spelled like a mountain, I love it, has a concellation on the stamp. I like thinking about how the postal person turned the card over to cancel both sides, that an actual person, not a machine, handled this to get it to me.

The miniature vintage bicycle posters are so nice. Don't you think so? Bicycle races have been popular for a long time!

Thank you Richard.
