Description: This vintage definitive postage stamp from the Republic of France presents the "Marianne de Muller" design printed in a rich monochromatic ultramarine blue ink palette. The composition features a right-facing portrait of Marianne, the national personification of France, wearing a classical crown woven with oak and laurel leaves. Geometric lines from a stylized rising sun radiate outward across the lower right background field. The face value "20f" (20 francs) occupies the upper-right corner area, balanced on the left vertical border by the word "POSTES". The formal country inscription "REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE" spans neatly within a clean horizontal banner across the baseline. A crisp, circular date stamp postmark from the Nord department, dated November 2, 1958, is cleanly struck over the central portrait.
