Description

This illustrated philatelic sheet, published by the CEF (Centrale d'Émission Philatélique), commemorates the World Energy Conference held in Geneva in 1986. The visible side features a contemporary graphic composition dominated by two superimposed circles, one solid red, the other adorned with concentric black lines creating a dynamic optical effect. This modern illustration, signed by Michel Durand-Megret, reflects the aesthetics of the 1980s, with a strong emphasis on geometry and vibrant color.

The sheet is framed with a golden border and displays, in its lower left corner, a reproduction of the official stamp issued for the event, against a black and red gradient background, accompanied by a circular logo "Conférence Mondiale de l’Énergie Genève 1986". The main text, in French, details the historical and scientific context of the conference, highlighting the global energy challenges of the time.

On the right edge, one can distinguish the mention "1966", the CEF logo, as well as technical information related to the edition: "N° 1265 du catalogue CEF", "Dessiné par Michel Durand-Megret" (Designed by Michel Durand-Megret), and information about the Société Nouvelle D’Edition CEF in Paris. The whole is printed on smooth, white paper, with a meticulous presentation typical of commemorative philatelic sheets.

The sheet, presented flat, shows only the front face. No elements of the back, bottom, or interior are visible. No defects, folds, or signs of wear are observable on the visible part of the photo; the surface appears to be in good condition, with no notable marks.
