The publishing house Johannes Leonhardt (jokingly also Postkartenleo ) served the distribution of postcards and was at the same time a paper shop for printing articles of all kinds in the Saxon residence and state capital Dresden . The company was based in a commercial building in the old town of Dresden, Ziegelstraße 2, at the corner of Pillnitzer (Land-) Straße. The building is also known as the Dresdner Froebelhaus.

The history of the publishing house and the paper dealer Johannes Leonhardt has been relatively little researched. The company was founded in Dresden in 1830. The Rudolf Johannes Leonhardt publishing house was initially located at Dresdner Brüdergasse 21 and, from 1905, at Ziegelstrasse 2.
Johannes Leonhardt took over the family business. He advertised that postcards from all countries could be purchased in his shop . With the death of Johannes Leonhardt in December 1930, the history of the family company ended after exactly 100 years.
Games and children's activities of all kinds could also be purchased in the Froebelhaus.
In addition to postcards from Dresden, Saxon Switzerland and the Ore Mountains, the publishing program also included cards from neighboring Bohemia and other countries. The publisher was also known for its collotype postcards of locomotives, which were also sold in larger station bookshops. The publishing house therefore had a branch in Berlin at times .
