This striking 10 centimes stamp from Haiti features a bold portrait of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the founding father of the Haitian nation, depicted on horseback with sword raised. Originally issued as part of a patriotic series, this example bears the black overprint “FÊTE DES MÈRES 1964”, commemorating Mother’s Day. Such thematic overprints add both historical and philatelic value, making this issue especially desirable for collectors of Haitian postal history, overprint varieties, and worldwide commemoratives. A fine piece that captures both the spirit of national pride and the universal celebration of motherhood.
