Ross Verlag published a series of postcards for Great Britain without the Ross Verlag name on the cards. Instead, the cards had the word 'Foreign' in one corner of the photo on the card. These were all hand-tinted colour postcards with a gloss finish. Although the Ross Verlag number was still visible on the front of these cards, they also usually had another number on the back in the stamp box. Besides these cards for the British market, Ross Verlag also published several hand-coloured postcards for the continental market. Here are 25 Ross Verlag Foreign postcards.
