Living Persons Portrayed On Stamps

However, it was not the first US stamp depicting living persons.

At least in 1932, in the set commemorating the Sumer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, one stamps presented a sprinter at the start position. Ther stamp design was made after a photograph of Jeremiah Alfred Le Coney, a US sprinter who was a winner of the gold medal in the 4x100 meter relay race at the 1924 Summer Olympics.

Hello.
In Spain it is not possible to reflect live people on the stamps, with the exception of the Royal Family and the Pope, who is also the Head of the Vatican State.
When there's an event to commemorate, they use the block. There are many examples, such as this.
Regards.
