Description
French Equatorial Africa Scott #188, issued in 1950, is a used commemorative stamp from the “Protection de la Nature” (Nature Protection) series, highlighting wildlife conservation in Afrique équatoriale française.
The stamp features a finely engraved varan (monitor lizard) depicted in its natural habitat, rendered with strong anatomical detail and a carefully balanced composition. Printed in green and muted earth tones, the design reflects mid-20th-century French colonial wildlife illustration, combining scientific interest with decorative clarity. The denomination is 8 francs, and the stamp bears the inscription POSTES.
This example is postally used, with a visible cancellation and solid overall presentation. A strong single for collectors of African wildlife, reptiles, nature conservation themes, or classic French colonial issues.
