This is a First Day Cover (FDC) issued for Stamp Day in Paris, dated March 16, 1963. The main illustration on the front depicts a Roman chariot scene in relief, in a graphic style evoking antiquity, with two figures mounted on a chariot pulled by a horse. This visual occupies the left part of the envelope, within a dark frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral printed mentions are visible: \"PREMIER JOUR D'ÉMISSION\" (First Day of Issue), \"HISTORIQUE F.D.C.\" (Historic F.D.C.), \"No 452\", as well as \"JOURNÉE DU TIMBRE 1963\" (Stamp Day 1963) and \"CHAR ROMAIN\" (Roman Chariot). Two round black postmarks are affixed to the right, bearing the inscription \"JOURNÉE DU TIMBRE 16-3-63 PARIS\" (Stamp Day 16-3-63 Paris) as well as a chariot motif, consistent with the stamp's theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stamp, partially visible under the cancellation, seems to feature the same Roman chariot motif.
