This may be an interesting question for other countries (as well as the US). Who was the first woman to appear on a stamp from a given country. For the US it was Martha Washington (George's wife) who appeared on Scott #306 dating to December 1902. (Just to clarify, let's talk about a woman in the true sense of a real person, not mythical gods or designs of woman as they may appear in 19th century engravings, etc.) |

The Hungarian stamp gets my vote. Good job! It seems to be the first commemorative stamp that's exclusively about the Christmas theme and it has persons on it! :) |

But no one has found me a cockroach on a stamp yet! I know that there is one because I remember seeing it and thinking that they really must have been fresh out of ideas when they designed it.

Well, if you look in the thread where the question was asked, you might find something of interest. |
