PHILATELIE 12-1 21.1.1960\". On the front, a color illustration depicts the famous figure of the \"Sower by Roty\", an emblematic character of French philately, sowing with both hands under a stylized rising sun. The mention \"LA SEMEUSE DE 'ROTY'\" is printed at the bottom left, accompanied by a design of sunbeams on a background of yellow and red furrows.  \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe envelope, inserted in a transparent protective plastic sleeve, has a postage stamp affixed at the top right (detail of the motif not fully visible in the photo). Two round \"First Day\" postmarks are affixed on the right side, attesting to the special cancellation. The red header distinctly mentions \"PREMIER JOUR D'ÉMISSION\" (FIRST DAY OF ISSUE) and \"21 JANV. 1960\" (JAN. 21, 1960).  \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe bottom of the envelope features a small handwritten or printed insert \"10F\".
