FRIEDRICH EBERT
SECOND SERIES
P188 - PRIVATE OVERPRINTS

The Second Ebert series of postcards appeared in 1929 and are refered to as P188 in the Michel series. This series comprises a total of 10 different cards. Cards of the second Ebert series differ from the first series by (1) a border that now extends around the four edges of the card, (2) a shorter tailed 'e' of 'Postkarte', (3) a different design to the central diving line which is now the same design as the outer border. Like the first series these cards depict scenes from around Germany on the left upper pane but do not have the 'Lernt Deutschland Kennen!' title.
