Philately envelope stamps Red Cross France Dieppe museum art theme

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This philatelic envelope features four French stamps issued for the Red Cross on the front, carefully aligned on the upper left-hand side. Each stamp bears the inscription "République Française" and illustrations inspired by works of art, two of which are explicitly referenced to the "Musée de Dieppe" (Ivoire) and two bear the inscription "Postes Nicolas Mignard" and seasons ("L’Automne", "Le Printemps"). The legible face values are 0.30 + 0.10, 0.25 + 0.10, and 0.25 + 0.10 francs, with the red Red Cross emblem on each stamp.

The white envelope is addressed to "Monsieur JEAN HUGUES" in Leyronat, 26400 CREST, as a typewritten print. The entire item is presented in a transparent plastic sleeve, which protects the mailing and shows the visible surface, without allowing the back or inside to be seen.

The stamp illustrations are classical in style, with reproductions of artistic works depicting full-length or seated figures, in burgundy, blue, green, and purple tones. The presence of the Red Cross and the mention of museums suggest a commemorative issue with a humanitarian and artistic theme.

The surface of the envelope appears clean, with no visible signs of wear on the visible side. A small white square with the handwritten inscription "201" is affixed to the bottom right, probably for sorting or internal reference.

The photograph does not allow observation of the envelope's contents or the back, and does not reveal any clearly legible postmark date on this side.

Condition
Used item, sold as is, as shown in the photo. Generally clean appearance on the visible side, stamps and address clearly legible.

Did you know? French Red Cross stamps have been issued annually since 1914 to support humanitarian actions. These issues usually include a surcharge (here +0.10 franc) donated to the French Red Cross and frequently illustrate works of art or historical figures.
