Description: This vintage 15 F (15 French francs) definitive postage stamp was issued by the French Republic as part of the post-World War II "Marianne de Muller" series. The vertical design is printed in a striking carmine-rose monochrome typography ink, featuring the right-facing profile portrait of Marianne, the national personification of France. She is depicted wearing a traditional soft Phrygian cap adorned with an intricate oak leaf crown. Behind her head, a stylized white rising sun pattern breaks through the background field, casting long linear rays outward. The left border contains the vertical inscription "POSTES", the face value "15 F" occupies the top right quadrant, and the national name "REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE" spans the lower margin. Tiny typography signatures on the bottom left and right borders credit the original artwork layout to designer Louis Muller and the printing plates to master engraver Jules Piel.
