If music be the food of love, play on




The sheet of stamps is larger than my scanner so the edges are chopped off but I think it's a lovely sheet.  I know it's a joint issue between the USA and France though I'm not sure at the moment whether the sheets are identical or not.  The 60 centime stamps of Miles Davis are for internal French mail and the 89 centime Miles Davis stamps are intended for international mail outside the  EU.

I don't, unfortunately, have a really appropriate card on which to send the stamps but I've kept to a musical flavour with Aristide Bruant, singer and cabaret owner, as pictured by Toulouse Lautrec (and so introducing another of the arts).

This is a post for Sunday Stamps, now hosted by Violet Sky at "See it on a Postcard!"

  1. Edith Piaf is one of my favourite singers, gorgeous stamps! A 1950s postcard of Paris with an Edith Piaf stamp would be a great combination :)

  2. That is a lovely stamp sheet. Both artists in such striking and similar poses - what a great set. And featuring two such amazing artists, of course, makes it so much better. Really cool.

  3. That's a stamp sheet to envy. Both artists deserve a stamp and combining them on one sheet is ideal.

  4. I have each of these individual stamps, but to see a whole sheet is sublime!

  8. Those are nice looking stamps, but I wonder why they put those two artists together and made the sheet so big.
