The latest issue of Linn's Stamp News highlights yet another stamp issue (Scott 2783-84) that depicted living people:
Quote:
In creating this square-format design, [Christopher] Calle worked from a photograph by Jerry Mabashov that showed Mabashov's wife, Mary Lou Novitsky, the deaf producer of the television program Deaf Mosaic, and their new baby, Michael Alexander Mabashov, who is also deaf. Calle changed the woman's face and hair extensively in his painting to avoid the issue of depicting a living person on a stamp."
