Mailbox Notecards
This set of 20 flat notecards and envelopes in a miniature mailbox oozes nostalgic charm. Like Card Catalog Notecards, it offers trompe l'oeil appeal and taps into a specific and avid audience, this time letter-writers rather than booklovers. The sturdy and adorable rounded box mimics a classic mailbox shape, has a magnetic closure, and invites users to celebrate the tactile, analog joys of old-fashioned correspondence. Each notecard features a stamp or a collection of themed stamps taken from the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum along with an informative caption on the back of each card.
The Smithsonian Institution, established in 1846, is a group of museums and research centres with more than 138 million items in its holdings; its collection is showcased in 19 museums around Washington, D.C. The National Postal Museum houses one of the largest and most significant philatelic and postal history collections in the world and one of the world's most comprehensive library resources on philately and postal history.
