?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. 462 - arriving mail art "Andreas Hofer hinter Gittern" from Angela Behrendt (Germany)

No. 462 - arriving mail art "Andreas Hofer hinter Gittern" (Andreas Hofer behind bars) from Angela Behrendt (Germany) - an image of Andreas Hofer's capture, stitched with silver thread across, so you got the idea of a jail. Angela told me that the title can also be "Andreas Hofer nach seinem Ausbruchversuch" (A. H. after his jailbreak) if some of the threads very ruined during the sending. Funny idea. Thank you very much.
