However, this project never materialized and the proofs remained in Freddie’s home, Garden Lodge, for over 35 years.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also included is a 1980s day glow pink Christmas card that features a black and white image of Freddie Mercury on the front taken during a photo shoot for Vogue magazine. The text printed inside the card humorously reads ‘Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Preening, Pouting, Posturing, Posing Old Tart’. The card was specially commissioned by Freddie Mercury to send to friends.
