His recommendations impressed the Austro-Hungarian Post, who put them to practice on October 1st 1869, resulting in the Correspondenz-Karte a light brown 8.5x12cm rectangle with space for the address on the front, and room for a short message on the back.The postcard featured an imprinted 2 Kreuzer stamp on top right corner, costing half the price of a normal letter.
This site is dedicated to my hobby: collecting written and stamped (from country of origin) postcards! Postcard collecting is a very addictive hobby, but its a lot of fun, and you get in touch with lots of nice people worldwide...
