Description: This carmine-pink definitive postage stamp was issued by the West German state postal authority, the Deutsche Bundespost. The graphic layout showcases a classic engraved, left-facing profile portrait of Prof. Dr. Theodor Heuss, the acclaimed intellectual, journalist, and inaugural President of the Federal Republic of Germany. The country designation "DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST" sweeps in an elegant arc across the upper half of the frame, while a large, stylized 20 Pfennig denomination anchors the lower margin. This particular used example features a hand-stamped, circular town postal cancellation mark with visible lettering across the hair and right border.
