AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot consists of several postage stamps from Algeria and Andorra, arranged on a philatelic album page with transparent strips. The selection presents a diversity of visuals, themes, and colors, illustrating different periods and postal emissions.

The upper part of the page contains old Algerian stamps, with various face values such as 50c, 100f, 0.30, and others. Several stamps illustrate monuments, architecture, or local scenes, some in shades of blue, purple, green, red, or orange. Particularly notable are a bright orange stamp with a spiral motif, as well as several overprinted stamps or those with Arabic inscriptions. Some of the stamps show visible cancellations, indicating their postal use.

The central part includes stamps of multiple formats and colors: some display aerial or animal motifs, others bear coats of arms or graphic symbols typical of 20th-century Algerian emissions. The color palette ranges from deep blue to red, including pastel tones and grays. Several stamps bear the inscription "ALGERIE" and are mostly canceled.

At the bottom of the page, a series of Andorra stamps is visible, recognizable by the inscription "ANDORRE" in capital letters. Three illustrated stamps in violet, black, and brown, depicting historical scenes, can be distinguished, along with a predominantly orange stamp dedicated to the Olympic Games, illustrating an athlete in action and a face value of 0.40. These stamps are in good visual condition, with detailed illustrations and clear inscriptions.

The lot thus presents a diversity of themes: architecture, history, sport, administrative symbols, with mostly canceled stamps. The inscriptions "POSTES ALGERIE", "REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE", and "ANDORRE" are clearly visible on several specimens. The colors remain vibrant for most stamps, although some show slight traces of wear or fading related to their postal use.

Did you know? Algerian stamps issued under French administration between 1924 and 1962 are distinguished by a wide variety of local motifs and bilingual inscriptions.
