Description
-
2021 “Souvenir Philatelique” celebrating the 400th anniversary of the birth of Jean de La Fontaine. Two parts: a folded leaflet jacket imaging La Fontaine writing among many animals and a page inside featuring the two new memorial stamps. $19.77 from empirefondation1965 through Ebay, July, ’21.
The stamps are situated as wall coverings, each above a fireplace, in a palatial building. The stamp itself is defined by surrounding perforations. The combination of black-and-white art with the colored stamp – all on one gummed page – is striking! The cover of the leaflet is marked by deeply rich colors.
