Mailed Monthly

For seven years running, membership in the club came with a standing appointment with the post: every month something new and lovely arrived in members’ boxes, both in the Americas and abroad. It was the quietest of the club’s traditions and, for many members, the most cherished — a piece of art that required no RSVP, no travel, and no particular evening set aside, only a mailbox and a little patience.

Each year the twelve-part series took on a different theme, sometimes photographed by Mr. Gentleman himself and sometimes made in collaboration with guest artists. Fortune-telling, paired diptychs, small paper oddities, and, in the final year, individually composed Object Portraits of the members themselves — the through-line across all of them was an eye for elegant composition and a fondness for the meaningful and the unexpected in equal measure. More of an account of these themes can be found on Mr. Gentleman's site for those curious.
