Known today, because it is pollen free, and therefore an ideal holiday destination for allergy sufferers, but better known to stamp collectors as Heligoland. One will invariably find a few reprints of the Victorian era issue in old albums.
I thought a map of this strategic island, claimed mostly by Germany, would be of interest to classical philatelists.
