Among them one of the pioneers, W. Reginald Bray, also known as 'the Englishman who posted himself'. Which he indeed did, more than 100 years ago!.. Wouldn't try it myself in these days anymore (regarding my weight, I would need too many stamps..).<br />You can see him being delivered on one of the pictures on http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.tingey/book/photos.htm :-)<br />And some more info / links at the IUOMA group about history of mail art, http://iuoma-network.ning.com/forum/topics/mailart-when-did-it-begin?id=2496677%3ATopic%3A181215&page=2#comments Heleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07959062355192978529noreply@blogger.com
