You Are Bidding On TWO (2) Convertible Booklets x 20 = 40 Christmas / Holiday MADONNA & CHILD (Madonna of the Carnation) by Bernardino Luini 41¢ each, total Face Value $16.40 Genuine USPS Postage Stamps (Passed "Luminescent" UV tagging test) Self Adhesive. Scott # 4206a The booklet pane of 20 features 2007 traditional Christmas stamps. The image was reproduced from “The Madonna of the Carnation,” a painting by Bernardino Luini (circa 1480-1532). Luini was a student of Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, and his work is so similar to his teacher’s that some of his art was originally credited to da Vinci. Luini is well known for his frescoes (paintings on plaster), which decorate many churches in and around Milan. The Madonna wears the “Luinesque” half-smile with downcast eyes, which were made famous by Luini. A Madonna has appeared on a U.S. Christmas stamp almost every year since 1966. Similar to stock photos. Plate numbers and block position may vary. Stamps maybe mint, might have minor bends or crease, Great for postage, not necessarily for collecting. ><(((((º> All my items are legally purchased with traceability and come from a smoke free / pet free home <*}}>< "SHOCK and AWE" FREE USPS Mail Have passed USPS, eBay & Paypal security checks An HONEST, TRUSTED, and EXPERIENCED SELLER!
