Soviet Postcard Art- L. E. Hamburger (or, "Gamburger")
Hamburger (often translated "Gamburger") postcards most often depict watercolor images of young animals. He did postcard sets featuring baby animals, animal circus acts, and miscellaneous animal mini-scenes. One of the most common Hamburger postcards in circulation (on the Internet in '19, my admittedly limited reference point) is an image of a young lynx kit trying to raid a nest of baby birds, much to the anxiety of the goldfinch mother. The 15 cards in this collection are a mixed bag from several different sets dating 1974-1987. '87 is the latest I am aware of that Hamburger was doing postcards, '67 is the earliest.
