Description
France Scott #130, issued in 1917, is a used semi-postal stamp from France’s World War I War Orphans charity series (Orphelins de la Guerre).
The design features a powerful allegorical female figure reclining protectively amid symbolic foliage beneath the banner POSTES, rendered in detailed engraved line work typical of early 20th-century French philately. The imagery conveys endurance, guardianship, and national resolve during wartime. The stamp carries a 5-franc denomination and was sold at a premium, with the surcharge directed toward aid for war-affected children.
This example is postally used, showing a clear cancellation and solid overall presentation. A strong representative of France’s WWI semi-postals and a key issue for collectors of humanitarian, wartime, or classic French stamps.
