Description
France Scott #238, issued in 1926, is a used definitive stamp from the well-known Sower (La Semeuse) series, one of the most iconic designs in French philately.
The stamp features the allegorical female figure of the Sower, symbolizing renewal, progress, and the Republic, striding forward while scattering seed. This issue is surcharged “10f. sur 90c.”, reflecting a change in postal rates during the mid-1920s. Printed in red with bold black surcharge, the design combines classical engraving with utilitarian overprint typography. The denomination is 10 francs on 90 centimes, and the stamp is inscribed RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE – POSTES.
This example is postally used, showing a visible cancellation and solid overall presentation. A representative surcharge issue for collectors of French definitives, La Semeuse types, or interwar postal history.
