Envelope
A single worn paper envelope, mostly blank, with handwritten French address lines in cursive and a faint pencil note in the upper left, scanned flat on a cream mount. The record is thin: it names an author, Lavater, and a 1700 date that does not match the handwriting style, so the object itself is the only reliable evidence. A designer could take its aged, stained paper texture and the spare, ink-and-pencil lettering as a quiet source for vintage correspondence motifs.
