Friends!
This is a card which I found on an auction site,
Is it a card issued by postal department, or is it customised card made for customer?, private issue? any idea about its period of issue?
The title given with auction is "DDR: intero, stationery, entier, quadro, peinture, painting, elefante, éléphant, elephant"

All I can tell you at this point is that it looks to be pre-1965. After that, they used 'DDR' almost exclusively.
Good luck

"10th Art Exhibition of the DDR"

In both East and West Germany of that time period, and long before in West Germany, for a fee, you could have postal stationery made to order and imprinted with a current stamp. They are called PrivatGanzsachen. I think this item falls under that category.

The card was issued by the Staatlicher Kunsthandel der DDR (State Fine Art Trade), showing an item from the 10th Art Exhibition of the DDR, which was held 3rd Oct. 1987 - 3rd April 1988 in Dresden. The stamp illustration on the card comes from a set originally issued in 1973.

It's cool. The 80's were the Punk years. I was too old to be Punk, but I liked the look on the young people.
