Marianne de Bequet, 1974
France · 1974 · 0.80 F
This definitive stamp features the 'Marianne de Bequet,' a modern interpretation of the French national symbol, Marianne. Designed and engraved by Pierre Bequet, the portrait is a simple yet elegant profile facing left, symbolizing liberty and the French Republic.

Issued during the presidency of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, this Marianne series replaced the 'Marianne de Cheffer' and reflected the contemporary artistic style of the 1970s.
