Envelope Art Kristen Brill Garbo was the paramount starThe chief legacy of William Henry Chignell (1841 1933), the subject of this book, consisted of several hundred hand painted envelopes sent to amuse his children scattered around Britain and in far flung corners of the Empire. Each envelope has a water colour drawing on the front and often the address is incorporated into the design. The drawings show extraordinary talent and range from ironic sketches, to witty commentary, and to beautiful scenes.
