I found these postcards by Munchener Bildkunstverlag August Lengauer in my father's travel souvenirs. It's kind of refreshing to see something unapologetically extolling the virtues of drinking beer to excess! The humorous illustrations and the beautiful lettering are exceptional narratives about a quintessential German stereotype.
