One of the best known magazine illustrators of the 1920's, his most popular works were his uniquely styled cartoons." Photo of Held is from 1923 (wikipedia).   |

Here is a French entry from 2002 depicting "a great summer" as photographed in 1955 in Saint-Brevin-les-Pins. Back before helmets.... This is Y&T 3521 (Sc.2915a) from a set of five stamps comprising "Everyday Life, Photos of the French." My scan is from the upper portion of the sheet where it gives photo details below each stamp.  Perhaps I ought to mention that I'm counting as the three, the family aboard the scooter, and disregarding the billboard in the background. |
