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
