This 20-Pfennig stamp from the Federal Republic of Germany honors Wilhelm Busch (1832–1908), one of the country’s most beloved humorists, poets, and illustrators, best known for his mischievous tales such as Max und Moritz. Issued in 1967 by Deutsche Bundespost, the design features a striking line-drawing portrait of Busch with his characteristic beard and pipe, rendered against a vivid red background. The minimalist style reflects his own illustrative genius, which laid the foundation for modern comic art. A cherished issue among collectors of literary and cultural commemoratives.
