This classic French definitive features the celebrated Type Blanc design by Paul Joseph Blanc, showing an allegorical female figure in elegant neoclassical style. Issued in the early 1900s, the 2 Francs green value was one of the higher denominations of the series and saw substantial postal use on heavier or international mail. Your example shows a clean strike of a curved cancel, characteristic of French postmarking of the era. Printed in typographed format by the French State Printing Works, this issue is admired for its fine detail and its place in the evolution of French Art Nouveau philatelic design. A desirable piece for collectors specializing in early 20th-century France.
