Great Britain 1840 1d intense black, Used SG1 Dominica stamps The black and white image

The black and white image shows the model dressed in an avant-garde black metallic contoured two-piece

the lavish royal palace outside Paris that became such a focus of resentment among the lower French classes

of which only a few examples are recorded and extremely rare in unmounted mint condition
