This cover is interesting in a couple of ways. Primarily, it has a nice Bruckner commemorative postmark that includes some organ pipes. But curiously the stamp (Scott 1687) is commemorating a composer known for his operettas, which was issued in 1995 (September 15), while a stamp for the 100th anniversary of the death of Bruckner was issued a few months later on 26 April 1996. I am reminded of a scene in a television show in which a character tries to get a famous person's signature on an item not at all related to said person, for the curiosity factor, to confuse future generations. That's what this cover does for me. I've discussed Bruckner and the Austrian stamp related to him in other posts.
