Link works. Interesting. More accurately, survived Pétain and the Germans. It was Vichy that, of its own volition, put in place anti-Jewish legislation, and its police that rounded up Jews. The Italian occupation zone was the only safe area in France.

Nonetheless, this unperforated version was released in a limited-edition sheetlet to milk revenue from stamp collectors (which is basically 90% of a stamp's job these days).


Amen.

Western Australia

"rara avis in terris nigroque simillima cygno."

in 82 AD the Roman satirist Juvenal wrote: "rara avis in terris nigroque simillima cygno." Meaning: a rare bird in the lands, and very like a black swan.

Back then, in the middle ages of Europe, a black swan was impossible to fathom. Juvenal wrote what everyone who lived long ago believed: that all swans were white. A swan of any other colour was nonexistent, impossible to fathom.

Then, in 1697, Willem de Vlamingh was exploring parts of Australia when he happened upon that very impossible artifact: a black swan, in the flesh. It took less than 30 years for a pair of black swans to be captured, proving their existence for the world to see.

Just like that, the world shifted. What was once thought of as truth and fact had dissolved and the impossible was made possible.
