Description

This philatelic sheet features a meticulous layout based on Émile Zola's novel "Nana". On the front, the title "NANA" appears in the top left, written in stylized green letters. To the right, a color illustration depicts a portrait of Émile Zola against a backdrop of red curtains and a theatrical setting, signed by Jean-Paul Cousin, as indicated at the bottom of the text.

The sheet offers a detailed explanatory text about the novel "Nana", its literary and historical context, as well as the journey of the main character. The text occupies most of the surface, with clear typography and a dark brown frame.

In the lower right corner, there is an illustrated stamp on the theme of "Nana", accompanied by a first-day postmark bearing the inscription "Nana Paris 10.01.2009". The predominantly red stamp features a stylized cover of the novel with the name "Nana" written at the top and a face value of 0.90€. The circular postmark reinforces the philatelic aspect of the sheet.

On the left side of the sheet, information specifies the origin: "N° 1670 of the CEF catalogue", "La SOD.I.D. organ of affiliated societies", and "Limited edition". The individual print run number "000239" is visible in the bottom left on the white margin.

The surface of the sheet has a smooth and glossy appearance, typical of CEF editions. The whole offers an elegant presentation, ideal for display in an album or framed.
