This collection presents 46 envelopes hand-printed by Karel Martens during his military service between 1962 and 1963. Sent to his partner, Lous, these artifacts reveal an early exploration of pattern, texture, and color, achieved through the resourceful application of printing ink and a spoon. The volume serves as both a personal archive and a study in experimental printmaking techniques, documenting a formative period in the designer's career.
