On the front, a clear postal cancellation is affixed to the upper right, mentioning \"FORT-DE-FRANCE\" with an airplane illustration and the text \"à 9 h. de PARIS\" (9 hours from PARIS), characteristic of postal markings from the aviation\/airmail period. A red-orange stamp with a predominantly blue hue, face value 0.20, is present in the upper right corner, with the legible mention \"Juillet SAINT-LO\" (July SAINT-LO).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe document bears the printed mention \"IMPRIMÉ\" (PRINTED) at the bottom left, as well as the SCOTEM address and the Parisian district indication. The surface of the envelope shows a neat presentation, without additional decorations, on a light background. A small white square with the handwritten inscription \"51\" is visible in the lower right corner, likely an internal classification mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe postal cancellation features typical motifs of French airmail philately, with a stylized illustration and precise inscriptions. The plastic sleeve effectively protects the item and reveals good preservation of the visible side, without major stains or apparent creases in this area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible elements confirm that it is a philatelic cover, intended for collection or archiving, with particular interest in the Fort-de-France cancellation and the use of a low face value stamp. The ensemble evokes French postal practices of the second half of the 20th century, although no explicit date is legible on the displayed side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall presentation is sober, typical of envelopes intended for thematic philately (aviation, airmail, overseas territories). The print is clear, and the cardboard backing appears well protected under plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
