As a boy, this stamp from the French overseas department of Réunion attracted me because it was so different from other stamps in my collection. Reflecting now on the stamp, I see that designer Dulac masterfully used the tonal range possible with photogravure, and created a complex but integrated design. The illustration of local produce, the various design elements and the typography create a harmonious whole.
I’m a lifelong stamp collector and created this website to share my thoughts about stamps, start conversations, and hopefully attract new collectors to philately.
This website is about enjoying stamps and sharing that enjoyment. What stamp/s or aspect of collecting do you enjoy? Re
