Description

This CEF philatelic souvenir sheet, visible in the photo, honors the World Energy Conference held in Cannes in 1986. The central element is a French stamp illustrated with a modern graphic motif: a deep circular red gradient, enhanced with curved black lines with an optical effect, evoking connection and technological dynamism. The stamp is integrated on the left of the sheet, accompanied by a clear First Day cancellation, with the mention "Conférence mondiale de l’énergie – Cannes 1986" (World Energy Conference – Cannes 1986) and the official event logo. The whole is framed by a thin line and detailed explanatory text on the upper part of the sheet, offering historical context about the conference and the choice of illustration.

The presentation of the souvenir sheet is neat, on a white background with a brown border, and bears the "CEF" logo in the bottom right, a guarantee of specialized edition for French philately. On the right border, the reference "7104" is clearly visible, as well as technical mentions on the printing type and numbering, typical of First Day souvenir sheets published by CEF.

The ensemble presents a very graphic visual aspect, combining modernity and rigor, with a balanced layout between informative text and the stamped illustration. The stamp, perfectly integrated, is accompanied by its First Day issue postmark, which gives this souvenir sheet a particular philatelic value for collectors of thematic French stamps or international events.

The souvenir sheet is perforated on the right (binder holes visible), allowing for easy storage in a philatelic album. The observable general condition appears very good, with no apparent defects on the visible side: no folds, no stains or notable alteration of the support or printing.

The visible side shows no handwritten annotations, no printing defects, and the legibility of the texts and motifs is excellent. The matte finish and print quality typical of CEF productions are easily recognizable.
