The stamp depicts a tapir in a lush tropical setting, engraved in rich detail with decorative framing typical of early 20th-century French colonial issues. The composition combines natural history with ornate Art Nouveau–influenced scrollwork, reflecting France’s approach to overseas definitives of the period.
