ROSS VERLAG MOVIE STAR POSTCARDS
AND OTHER VINTAGE
EUROPEAN POSTCARD PUBLISHERS


Bree Pickford Pickford Vanna Vanna Vanna Maynard McConell







Ross Verlag was a German postcard publisher, renowned for the production and distribution of high quality movie star postcards throughout Europe of both American and European performers from 1919 to 1944.   Celebrity images were licensed directly from Hollywood Studios or obtained from many of the European glamour photography studios of the time.   Many of these photos quite possibly were never published anywhere else.

This website contains an image archive of as many of the thousands of Ross Verlag postcards as we have been able to find.   It also details as much information as I have been able to obtain related to the history of Ross Verlag, and its founder, Heinrich Ross.

As an added bonus, this website also contains images of postcards from many other European postcard publishers, and a little bit of information regarding them.

I am responsible for gathering the historical information regarding Ross Verlag, with the help of many, many individuals.   Jean Ritsema is behind locating the images of the Ross Verlag postcards, obtained from various sources.   Jean also worked to create the other European image archives, along with Torsten J. Anklam.   We are grateful to both of them!
