    The text at the bottom of the picture: Gunther Manur??? & xxx adults.

    I've had a look at the images, but haven't got anywhere yet trying to figure out what the riddle is.

    That one's easy - not only is it in English, but it says what it is at the bottom!

    are you trying to recall the word 'rebus'? I'd put that in the title somewhere as that's the name of that kind of puzzle. The first one you show is in French, but I'm not sure what 'switching' or 'spanking' is called in French. . .

    grtz from the Netherlands

    On the bottom is (as far as I know) written in old German
    Grüße Mama & die Großeltern = greetings to Mama and the grandparents

    The first item is probably a book. in german: Buch and the u has to be changed in an i
    The second is Dach (roof) and the a has to change in i = dich = yours

    From the word between the old lady and the hand the last letter is an e

    Furtheron I have no idea at the moment

    The address is as follows
    Herrn Felix Oestreuher ?
    Marienbad
    Villa ?isch (probably Bisch)

    As there is no further sender on the card it has not to be greetings to Mama and the grandparents but greetings, (from) Mama and the grandparents.

    I think the mother has sent the card to her son Felix and probably there is a 'hidden' message for him.

    Hi Grotekers,

    Thank you for that. No way did I read grusse there. I thought it was Gunther.
    I wasn't sure about the second word and bablefish translates grossaltern as "majority age", which I took to mean adult. Because it's "hand written" rather then printed, I misread some of the letters.

    I thought of buch and dach, but it says "changed w to i, which had me totally confused.

    Therefore we now have O bich dich.
    Dich is yours as you already said, but I can't make anything out of o bich or obich that makes sense.

    Can you figure out what the 2 or 3 letters are on the bottom line between the old lady and the fingers pointing down?

    Hi Mainlypostcards,

    I think now that the letters are 'Je ' (pronounced Jay) what amongst others means ever. But there are more meanings dependent on in which sentence it is used.
