Lot of cancelled French stamps: landscapes, monuments, flowers themes

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot features a varied set of canceled French stamps, carefully arranged on a black album page. All visible stamps bear the inscription "République Française" and illustrate a diversity of themes emblematic of 20th-century French philately.

The selection includes many stamps with landscapes and remarkable sites, such as the Gorges de l’Ardèche, Riquerwhr, or views of mountains and historic cities. Several stamps highlight monuments, statues, or architectural works, illustrating France's rich heritage.

There are also stamps with a floral theme, including one adorned with two large stylized red and yellow-petaled flowers on a white background, as well as commemorative stamps, such as the blue stamp with a Cross of Lorraine, or issues dedicated to historical French events or figures.

Some stamps feature vibrant colors (red, green, blue, purple, brown, gray), while others stand out for their fine and detailed graphics, typical of French engraving from the 1950s to 1970s. The visible face values vary, ranging from 0.30 to 1.40 francs, reflecting different issuance periods. Several examples show clear cancellations, attesting to their postal circulation.

The overall quality is good for used stamps: the edges are generally clean, although some corners or perforations show slight signs of wear, with no apparent tears on the visible side. The colors remain vibrant and the designs clearly legible.
