Description
In my postage stamp collection I have a large piece of envelope that someone cut off an even larger envelope. All that collector was interested in was the stamps, apparently, leaving me with not a clue regarding who the package was sent to. No matter.
What excited me was the exuberance of the piece. All that red and white, that beautiful face of the ubiquitous Marianne (a face that has appeared on postage stamps in France since 1944, all done by different artists; this is the only Marianne created by a woman artist — Eve Luquet). And then all those circular cancellation marks — so fun to see.
This envelope or package was sent from Limoges/Corgnac in 2006.
