By composing real works of art from simple objects of correspondence, mail art has opened a new field of exploration for the most creative minds. Virtuoso writers, calligraphers have brought to this playful, desacralized and ephemeral art the rigor of drawing the letter, essential to the readability of the address. And it is precisely within the constraints of this universal code that they find total freedom of expression, and the means to share their passion. Over time, mail art has taken a special place in the practice of the calligrapher's profession. The exchange of mail is now part of their daily practice. In this book are reproduced those received by one of them. The great graphic richness of these mailings, which have in common a common destination, is a real entertainment for the eye and the mind.
