"... I think album publishers used the initial announced design and failed to update. Why I don't know ..."
I recently received part IV of international postage stamp album, leafing through the catalog, I notice that between illustration and the stamp of SC# 1135 a big difference of the position of the girl head, on illustration the head is down and on the stamp is up, is this a variety or what ?
thanks in advance
