Postcard is clean, never circulated.
The title “Fliegende Blätter” refers to a historic German humorous and satirical weekly magazine published from 1844 to 1944 by Braun & Schneider in Munich. It is considered one of the most important and longest-running satirical magazines of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The postcard’s design employs a direct visual metaphor—letters scattered across a field of cornflowers and “floating” in the air serve as a visual representation of the concept of “flying sheets” (German: *Fliegende Blätter*)—understood as loose sheets of letter paper or postcards swirling through the air.
