France – Scott # 2114

Description

Issued in 1988, France Scott #2114 promotes accessibility for people with disabilities, reflecting growing public awareness and policy focus on inclusion, mobility, and equal access in the late 20th century. The inscription “Accessibilité aux handicapés” makes the social message explicit and central to the design.

The graphic composition uses bold arrows and simplified human figures, including a wheelchair symbol, to suggest pathways, movement, and barrier-free navigation. Rendered in clear blues and greens with high-contrast accents, the design prioritizes legibility and symbolism, aligning form with function in a manner characteristic of late-1980s public-information graphics.

Denominated 3.70 francs, the stamp serves as both a postal issue and a visual statement supporting accessibility in public spaces and transportation. It is a strong topical for collectors of social history, disability advocacy, public policy themes, and modern graphic design.

This example is offered mint never hinged, with full original gum, clean margins, sharp perforations, and fresh, unfaded color.
