?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. 195 - arriving mail art "Hofer Heracles" from Vladimir Gritsay (Russia)

No. 195 - arriving mail art "Hofer Heracles" from Vladimir Gritsay (Russia) - Vladimir has a mail art call about Heracles, that's why he choose this kind of combination of these two persons. The postcard is a computer generated image. The text on the card says: "Hofer will become Heracles when he kills the severe lion living in Kiferon forest and takes its skin on his shoulders". Thank you very much.
