The Distant Cousins Of Gruss Aus

Literally a Gruss Aus PPC, but a little off the beaten track, eh?

Gruss Aus PPC must be the maker, eh? Cool card.

Not quite.

PPC = Picture Post Card

'Gruss Aus' (German) would be 'Greetings From' (English).

This became a common legend (text on the image side of the postcard) all over the world and, therefor, became a collecting category in & of itself.

The legend is usually found on a 'view' card (the image is a view of, say, downtown wherever, or a famous landmark).

I posted this card precisely because it is so far afield from the normal Gruss Aus card, as the greetings are from an organization (and an imaginary individual) instead of from a place. Gruss Aus abuse!

I am hoping that others might cough-up scans of their cards which s-t-r-e-t-c-h the definition of the category.

I get now, and completely see your point. It a greeting card from a .org, as opposed to a place.

I'll look through when I have a chance and see if I have anything to add.

How the mighty Gruss Aus have fallen!

From panoramic views of Paris & Vienna to ... Anthony's Fish Grottos ?!@#$%?

I thought I might have something for this topic but I don't so here's a wacky one from Texas.
