Adolf Stand (1870-1919) was one of the leaders of the Zionist Movement in Austro-Hungary, served as president of the Galician Zionists, and in 1907 was one of the three Zionist candidates who were elected as members of the local Galician Parliament (under the Austro-Hungarian Empire). It is possible that the postcards were printed in view of the elections that were held in 1907. The postcards were sent by Stand by mail and they bear short letters, hand signed by Stand.
