Reunion – Scott # 34, used

Description

Réunion – Scott #34 (Used)

This stamp from Réunion, a French overseas colony in the Indian Ocean, features the classic “Navigation and Commerce” allegorical design used widely throughout the French colonial empire. Issued under the République Française – Colonies Postes inscription, the design depicts allegorical figures representing trade and maritime power, a visual theme closely associated with France’s late 19th-century colonial postal issues.

Scott #34 is denominated 1 franc and bears the colony name RÉUNION prominently in red at the bottom tablet. These stamps were printed using engraved methods, giving them fine line detail and strong visual presence, even in used condition. Examples like this were commonly used on official and commercial correspondence during the colonial period.

This stamp is offered used, with visible cancellation, making it a solid representative example for collectors of French Colonies, Réunion postal history, or classic allegorical stamp designs.
