This elegant monochrome stamp from Monaco depicts Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, founder of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and patron saint of teachers. Designed by J.E. Lorenzi, it portrays La Salle with a group of schoolchildren, symbolizing his lifelong dedication to education and pedagogy. Issued in a deep red hue, the minimalist line drawing style emphasizes his humanist spirit and his contributions to the development of modern schooling. A notable issue for collectors interested in religious figures and education-themed philately.
