Golden Radiance of the Fields

Under Review

Description: This vintage postage stamp from the Republic of France presents the legendary "La Semeuse" (The Sower) motif cast in a vibrant orange-vermilion monochromatic format. The central engraving features a graceful woman wearing a classical Phrygian cap walking across a plowed field while distributing seeds from a bag balanced on her hip against a background of thin, horizontal lines. The country name "REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE" is printed clearly along the top margin layout, balanced by the vertical text "POSTES" framing the right side. The large denomination "50c" representing 50 centimes is positioned in the bottom-left corner, and a heavy, dark lozenge postmark cancellation dominates the center of the image.

Circa: 1926 - 1932

Condition: Used - Hinged
