Issued by France in 1990, this semi-postal stamp pays tribute to Georges Brassens (1921–1981), the beloved French singer-songwriter and poet known for his witty, humanist chansons. Designed by Raymond Moretti, it features a vivid portrait of Brassens with his trademark pipe, rendered in expressive sketch lines of red and black against a bronze-gold background. The face value is 2.30 + 0.50 francs, with the surcharge supporting cultural causes. This issue captures the enduring legacy of Brassens, whose songs remain pillars of French musical and literary heritage.
