Would anyone know who this man on a German postcard from 1931 is??? Cheers, Torsten.

Appropriate subject for a postcard:

Heinrich von Stephan (1831-1897), Generalpostdirektor of the German Empire.

Wow Dave...thank you very much. That clears that one up...did you know who he was straight away or how did you figure out the man's identity?? Cheers and thanks again, Torsten.
