?Hero? Andreas Hofer (1767-1810) - mail art call for postcards

This blog is dedicated to the Tyrolean Hero Andreas Hofer (1767-1810), who became the leader of a rebellion against Napoleon's forces. What is his role today - is there any left? Just an advertising symbol ? - 200 years after the rebellion took place in 1809. I invite all artists in the world to participate in this mail art call - be critic, politic, humorous, creative - all mail art will not be sent back and become part of the collection.

No. 76 - arriving mail art "Alle Triften, alle Stätten färbt mit ihren Knochen weiss..." from Peter Backes (Germany)

No. 76 - arriving mail art "Alle Triften, alle Stätten färbt mit ihren Knochen weiss..." from Peter Backes (Germany) - Peter has found this paper in a shooting club with parts of Heinrich von Kleist's poem (Germania an ihre Kinder), the illustration shows Andreas Hofer near Innsbruck during the main battles on the hill called Isel; he has sent it in an envelope with a typical tyroleon szenerie. Thank you very much.
