Though it seems she has doen a lot of work for various causes since so a philatelic tribute does seem fitting. But she's probably been too political a figure to see that happen any time soon.

I agree the text on the Fremch stamps is easier to read than on the US counterparts. A friend thought the singer was Eartha Kitt. I think that is in part because the red letters EDITH PIAF are nearly impossible to read. (Also, I don't think Eartha Kitt will ever be on a US stamp but that's another story). brunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15474087697502604620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034795418992562135.post-58795222333229605082012-11-02T14:23:14.833+00:002012-11-02T14:23:14.833+00:00That French stamp is a much better depiction of Fi...That French stamp is a much better depiction of Fitzgerald than the American one, which I've always thought makes her look like she's had her Ready Brek.Julia Leehttp://www.stampmagazine.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
