Address Your Mail

Love this vintage British poster from 1957, demonstrating how to address your mail correctly. Designed by Leonard Beaumont.

About the Society

A postcard exchange and art project in one, the aim of the Benevolent Postcard Society is to bring a smile to its members through the random exchange of postcards from September 2009 to September 2010. At the beginning of each month, members send a cheerful, amusing, inspiring, pretty or quirky postcard to each other — either handmade or readymade. At the end of the year, all the postcards exchanged will be collected and published as a book, the final result of a year's sharing of good karma through random acts of kindness.

Please note that the Benevolent Postcard Project finished up on September 1 2010. We are now in the process of putting together a book about the BPS project, which will be available in 2011. Thank you for your interest!
