This definitive stamp features the iconic 'Marianne de Gandon', an allegorical representation of the French Republic.

Issued shortly after the liberation of France in 1945, this stamp symbolized the restoration of the Republic and a break from the Vichy regime. It became a widely used and recognizable part of daily life in post-war France.
