GET TO KNOW GERMANY
FIRST EBERT SERIES
P185 / 08

The First Ebert series of Get to Know Germany appeared in early 1928 and are refered to as P185 in the Michel series. This series comprises a total of 10 different cards. Cards of the first Ebert series are easily identified by the (1) there is no border running around the edges of the cards, (2) elongated tail on the 'e' of 'Postkarte', (3) a thick central dividing line that is dark green in the middle and light green either side and a (4) thick dark green line under the third dotted address line. This first series does depicts scenes from around Germany on the left upper pane but does not have the 'Lernt Deutschland Kennen!' title and is included here for completeness.

As well as the official cards there is a version of P185/06 with additional private printing.

The inscription below the image reads "Michelstadt, Stadion" - 'Michelstadt, Stadium'
