FRANCE – 425416

FRANCE – This is a very attractive, even though mostly used, collection of well over a thousand different issues tracing French postal stamps from the very first regular issue on one end and then running into the 1970s on the opposite end presented inside a French specialist album with beautiful annotations, illustrations, and simply French va-va-voom, as much as it applies to philately! The collection includes a solid 19^th century portion boasting such premium classics like used #1, 3, 6, 11, 12, 13, 19, 22, 28, 31, 38, 41, 42, 43, among others, and then a highly complete run through the first three quarters of the 20^th century!
