Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label on verso, BC: 9/62 37) HEADS OF STATE: So cordial were the meetings between Charles \ de Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer on the former's recent state visit \ to Germany that commentators began speculating about a Franco- \ German entente that would not only dominate the Common Market but \ might also put Great Britain to disadvantage. Here is a revealing \ study of the two leaders. \ Credit: Erich Lessing © 1962 MAGNUM Photos
