1932, reprint in black. The Rockwell Kent stamp originates from German film exhibition to the Umanak district in northern Greenland. The expedition was known as "Universal - Dr. Ranck Expedition" and its purpose was to produce a film called "S.O.S. Iceberg. The stamp was produced by the American artist Rockwell Kent who lived in Greenland at the time. The stamp was to be affixed to letter mail being transported by air - the aircraft was flown by the German pilot ERNST UDET - from the base camp to a smaller camp close to the icecamp. The stamp is of purely private nature, but it has gained a world wide reputation. The stamp was produced locally, but one or two years later a red reprint was made in the USA by Rockwell Kent.
