France Marianne l'engagée, Green Letter Stamp
France · 2018 · Lettre verte
This definitive stamp features 'Marianne l'engagée' (Marianne the Committed), a modern interpretation of the French national symbol of liberty and reason. The design, by artist Yseult Digan (YZ), portrays a determined and active Marianne, reflecting contemporary French society. This version is for the 'Lettre verte' (Green Letter), an ecological and slightly slower domestic postal service.
Issued in 2018, this stamp continues the long French tradition of depicting Marianne on definitive issues, a practice dating back to 1849. Each new presidential term typically sees a new design, with this one representing the presidency of Emmanuel Macron.
