Audrey Hepburn”, the unissued 110+50 pfenning / 56c.+26c. multicoloured
adhesive, the superb unmounted mint corner marginal example showing Audrey
Hepburn in classic Holly Golightly pose with cigarette. The stamp was withdrawn
before issue because of the cigarette and remained unreleased with the
exception of a few used examples which were inadvertently mailed from Berlin.
This stamp is from the unique mint block of ten formerly owned by Audrey
Hepburn’s son which was auctioned to provide funds for UNICEF and AHCF.
