Postcards have been around since 1869, when Dr. Emanuel Herrmann (a professor of Economics from Vienna) suggested that a practical and cheaper alternative to letters should be implemented for shorter, more efficient communications.
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.
Stamp:
The Lord of the Rings
