Sarah Compton, Schaumburg, Ilinois, USA

Sarah sent us a card with birds and rainbows and circles, and the iconic bicycle image. This says, freedom to fly, and roll on!

Thanks, Sarah, for sending something for the exhibit.

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.
