AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description Illustrated philatelic sheet published by CEF, dedicated to Le Puy Cathedral, in Haute-Loire. The sheet features a color photograph of the cathedral's main facade and west porch, accompanied by detailed descriptive text on the right. A stamped postage stamp can be seen at the top right, bearing the cancellation "Cathédrale du Puy – Le Puy", as well as an illustrated vignette.

The sheet is printed on a white satin-look support, with a golden frame around the main illustration. The text "La Cathédrale du Puy" is printed in black gothic letters, followed by an informative paragraph on the monument's history and architecture. At the bottom left of the image, the caption "La Grande Façade et le Porche Ouest" specifies the subject of the photograph.

On the left margin, there is the mention "N° 534 du catalogue CEF" and the individual number "11088" printed at the bottom, indicating a limited edition. The sheet has side perforations allowing it to be filed in a binder, typical of CEF philatelic presentations.

The stamp visible on the upper right part is blue-violet in color, with an illustration of the cathedral and the mention "France 3,30". The special cancellation also bears a stylized representation of the facade and the name of the cathedral.

The sheet shows no apparent defects on the visible side: the support appears clean, without notable stains, creases or tears. The printing of the text and illustrations is clear, the colors well preserved.

Condition Used item sold as is. Visible side in very good condition, with no major defects observed.
