Issued by Établissements Français de l’Océanie (now French Polynesia), this 10 centime brown stamp from 1938 features a dramatic engraving of towering volcanic peaks rising above calm ocean waters, with a lone sailboat navigating in the foreground. Designed by Boullaire and engraved by C. Barlangue, the stamp captures the rugged, majestic beauty of Polynesian landscapes. It forms part of the first definitive series produced under French administration for the Pacific territories, symbolizing both isolation and natural splendor.
