On September 1st, 1850, operatic soprano Jenny Lind arrived in New York. The city and later the whole county went wild over her. Her Tour had been planned by P.T. Barnum and she was thoroughly "sold" to the American public. Shortly after a host of products bore her name and likeness including medals showing her profile. The embossed envelopes were model after these popular medallion keepsakes.
