Luxembursko - Poštová známka Letné olympijské hry Rio 2016 Jean Lucien Nicolas Jacoby (26. marca 1891 - 9. septembra 1936) bol luxemburský umelec. Získal zlaté olympijské medaily v olympijských výtvarných súťažiach 1924 (obrazy "Box", "Štart" a "Rugby" v kategórii Maľba) a 1928 (kresba "Rugby" v kategórii Kresby) a stal sa tak najúspešnejším olympijským umelcom. Jacoby často predstavoval vo svojich dielach šport, čo využila Luxemburská pošta a podľa jeho kresieb pripravila luxemburské poštové známky pre Letné olympijské hry Helsinki 1952.
V roku 2016 Luxemburská pošta vydala poštovú známku k Letným olympijským hrám Rio 2016 práve s portrétom Jeana Jacobyho.

For example, the word 'známka' is automatically translated into English as 'mark', 'label', or 'grade' instead of - in this context - the proper 'stamp'; and opposite the word 'stamp' is automatically translated to Slovak as 'značka', 'odtlačok', 'kolok', 'pečiatkovať' instead of - in this context - the proper 'známka'. In this particular case, it is appropriate to correct the source to a 'poštová známka', respectively 'postage stamp', which significantly improves the quality of automated translati
