  Henry Lambskull, The Cottage, Sevenoaks, posted 1891 Many things, many things to show you. I decided to visit each of the blogs / websites in my list of mail art related links. You can find that list on the left hand side of the screen if you're on a computer. The drop down menu, if you're on your phone, is in the upper left corner. Then I also decided to check out the internet-at-large to see what bounty the near-endless seas of the internet might provide for us. Here's everything in no particular order. It's just all thrown in there for you to make whatever sense you want to make of it. I will sometimes include some of my thoughts or include text from the source website where I found the stuff.  The early mail art rebuses (above and below) are kind of fun. The rebus was popular in mail art from the mid 1800s to the early 1930s, according to Faithful Readers .  G.
