On the ACS blog, Nancy Brown asked a trivia question which I tried to answer. While I did not discover the answer she was looking for, I did come across an interesting bit of Chestertonian trivia. The trivia question involved the art work associated with the Lunacy and Letters Column in the current issue of Gilbert. The art work consists of a couple of U.S. postage stamps with GKC's picture on them (fictional, by the way, as there are no U.S. stamps with GKC on them). I did discover that Czechoslovakia (1969) did issue a stamp with a caricature of Chesterton on it. And here it is.
