Introduction

Drawn by Henri Cheffer (1880-1957) in 1954, this stamp was first issued in 1967. As Cheffer had passed away, the die was engraved by Claude Durrens.

Artist's Proof, signed by Fenneteau, a friend of Durrens, who was given the proof. This was standard procedure for artists to exchange proofs, and to sign each other's. This proof is probably unique.
