Hans Christian Anderson is depicted on this 2005 issue from Malta commemorating the 200th anniversary of his birth. As most people know he wrote stories and is most widely known for his fairy tales. He fell out of bed in the spring of 1872 and was severely hurt and never fully recovered. He died in August of the same year near Copenhagen in his native country of Denmark.
I've still received no entries for my Monk's Mound raffle giveaway which the deadline for is at the end of August. Rules posted here....http://stampsandcovers.blogspot.com/2013/07/unesco-world-heritage.html.
To anyone who thinks they don't want to collect postcards, all I can tell you is that I will be placing some very nice U.S. commemorative and or topical stamps on the post card when I mail it.
