This definitive stamp features an allegorical design by Louis-Eugène Mouchon, representing the Rights of Man. The central figure, often interpreted as Liberty or the Republic, holds a tablet inscribed 'DROITS DE L'HOMME' (Rights of Man). The design is framed by olive and oak branches, symbolizing peace and strength.

Issued at the turn of the 20th century, the Mouchon series replaced the earlier 'Peace and Commerce' type. This design reflected the enduring values of the French Third Republic.
