?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. 557 - arriving mail art "Zu Mantua in Banden ... wir sie fanden..." from Heinz W. Lotz (Germany)

No. 557 - arriving mail art "Zu Mantua in Banden ... wir sie fanden, des Hofers letzte Schuhe" from Heinz W. Lotz (Germany) - a really funny, partly 3-dimensional collage with little wooden shoes on it. First the postal system obviously did not accept the cut-out postage stamp on it, but then it seems there was no problem any more and I got it without paying taxes. Heinz used the backside of the envelope I have sent to him some times ago. Thank you very much.
