Comment: The recent Notre Dame disastrous cathedral fire prompted me to consider doing a 4-page exhibit on the subject; I would try to locate: 1) the First stamp issued picturing Notre dame 2) history of the structure 3) stamps issued by any country picturing it 4) related material,etc.
I will purchase or trade( I have extensive Swiss,Austria,Liechtenstein for trades) for any of the above! Mint or fine used is OK. Get lookin!
Thanks! Dr. Barrett
