The front shows a blue French Republic stamp, with the inscription \"CENTENAIRE DE L’ÉMISSION DE BORDEAUX 1870-1970\" (Centenary of the Bordeaux Issue 1870-1970), with a face value of 0.80. The stamp is canceled with a round postmark \"BORDEAUX VILLE D’ART\" (Bordeaux City of Art), dated 1970, which confirms its nature as a FDC (First Day Cover).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the top right, a red printed inscription \"Premier Jour d’émission\" (First Day of Issue) is clearly visible, typical of French FDC philatelic envelopes from the second half of the 20th century. The envelope is addressed to SCOTEM, 25 rue Calmels, Paris 18e, whose address is printed in black at the bottom left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall presentation is sober: white or off-white paper, clear printing, predominantly blue stamp with architectural illustration, and a circular postmark.

Some small marks or spots are visible on the paper, without major impact on the legibility of the inscriptions or the quality of presentation. The plastic sleeve appears slightly shiny with some reflections and superficial marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
