Audrey Hepburn, Hollywood and stamp collecting icon!
The most beautiful ambassador of philately remains without the slightest hesitation Audrey Hepburn. Not that she was a collector, but her participation in the film Charade in 1963 makes her an icon! Since then, philately has paid tribute to her. She is even on one of the most expensive modern stamps in the world.

Queen Victoria, is the most famous philatelic effigy!
With good reason: hers was the first one! The first stamp, the “penny black”, was issued in 1840 during her reign. So, it makes perfect sense that her portrait was on it. What’s more, the British Empire was at its peak. That’s all it took to ensure that Queen Victoria would become the most emblematic figure of stamp collecting. Queen Victoria had such an impact on her times that they were renamed the “Victorian Era”.
