This definitive stamp features the iconic 'Marianne de Gandon', an allegorical representation of the French Republic. Designed by Pierre Gandon, the image depicts Marianne wearing a Phrygian cap, a classic symbol of liberty. This design became one of the most enduring and recognizable French stamp motifs of the post-war era.

Issued shortly after the liberation of France at the end of World War II, this stamp symbolized the restoration of the Republic and its values of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
