Art Letter & Postcard


Letter sent by Phillip (the USA). The stamps were covered with an ugly bar code...


...but, happily, it was easily removable!


Some days later I got another postcard from Phillip with three more Ellsworth Kelly stamps:


No postmark? Yes, but on the front side. And a very cool one!

Orange Red Relief (for Delphine Seyrig), 1990

Mail a Smile

Plus, now I have the complete collection of the series.

  3. Australia Post also puts those barcode stickers on postcards. Yes, you can peel them off easily and they don't leave any trace at all. What an intriguing collection of stamps!

    1. I don't get a lot of mail from Australia. But some mail from the USA bears those codes (and most don't; I wonder why).

    2. I don't know all the reasons why, however if a piece of mail doesn't receive a barcode directly printed onto the envelope, and is then processed by a postal worker, the person prints a label and applies it.

    3. Mail mysteries. We will never know these things.
