I believe this illustration is by Rene Stoute.
"Oef" in Dutch means "phew."
It was registered after 40 days of transit.
Postillione, Briefträger, Sachsen, 1866
On Monday, 02 November 2009, I received from my dear Postcrossing friend, nordbär, this postcard of postmen from 1866 Saxony. I lubber me some mail-related mail! :D
EDIT: It would appear this postcard was published to commemorate 500 years of mail delivery (500 Jahre Post).
Some German words I learned are:
- Briefträger = Postman
- Post = Post office
- Postkarte = Postcard
- Luftpost = Air mail
- Jahre = Years
- Jubiläums = Anniversary
- Nord = North
- Bär = Bear
