Greetings CardsIn collaboration with renowned card makers Hammond Gower, The Chap has produced a range of greetings cards based on our front covers. The images have been chosen for their aesthetic qualities, so the only ones available as cards are displayed on this page. The cards bear cheery birthday greetings on the front, while the insides are left entirely blank; for not only do chaps and chapettes prefer the personal to the generic epistolary greeting, but they can also get a little carried away with their quills. The Chap cards are available individually or in packs of six. |

Chap Card 41

This card features the cover of issue 41, which was published in December 2008 and featured Neil J. Ridley defending the honour of a damsel in distress in the Greenwich foot tunnel under the Thames. This was the first Chap cover designed by Joe Gardiner, who went on to design all future Chap covers. | |

This was the first cover to feature the lovely Tiffany Tondut, who poured champagne all over Seth Thevoz in the library of the National Liberal Club. This was also the first issue of The Chap to be published in A4, a change of format which only lasted for four issues in 2009. | |

Chap Card 47
|
The Chap's October 2009 edition was about education, so of course the cover photograph had to encapsulate both Just William and Lindsay Anderson's If... The models were Simon Hawkins and Faye Fornasier, and the sandwich was provided by Continental Foods. The bren gun belongs to Mr. Hawkins and is the real thing. | |
