Description

This illustrated CEF sheet celebrates Pierre Bonnard, a major figure in French painting, with a reproduction of the painting "Corner of a Dining Room in Le Cannet" (Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris). The visible side presents a typical composition of philatelic sheets: on the left, a large color illustration faithfully reproduces Bonnard's work, while in the bottom left corner there is a matching stamp, illustrated with the same motif, accompanied by a "First Day" postmark dated April 14, 1984 in Paris. The whole is printed on a white-backed sheet, with a black frame around the main illustration.

On the right side of the sheet, the printed text offers a detailed presentation of Pierre Bonnard's life and work, in black typography on a white background. The artist's name appears in the top right, in bold characters. The CEF catalog number is also noted in the top left ("N° 718 du catalogue CEF"), as well as the CEF logo, a guarantee of specialized French philatelic publishing. The left part of the sheet also includes the printing details, the limited edition run, and the copy number (2722), all printed in black.

The standardized presentation of this CEF sheet, with perforations on the left margin, allows for easy storage in philatelic binders. The clear First Day postmark bears the inscription "Pierre Bonnard, Coin de salle à manger au Cannet, 14 avril 1984, Paris," attesting to the authenticity of the issue.

The visible surface of the sheet shows no chips or major stains, and the colors of the illustration and stamp remain vibrant. The texts and notes are perfectly legible, with no apparent signs of wear or tearing on the displayed side.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The visible side appears in very good condition, with no notable defects on the illustration, text, or stamp. The lateral perforations are intact on the visible part.
