Sorry, John. No, it's NOT "just a stamp."
Even a stamp should portray visual fact. Visual reality.
"Correcting" history should be permanently buried in the past. The Russians, the
Germans, whoever else perpetrated this unconscionable editing to change reality
of what was, were wrong.
Almost literally everyone who sees this stamp says, "Where's her cigarette?"
Suckin' on a smoke is Bette Davis!
Stupid thinking, stupid act, almost perfect photograph.
