This French definitive stamp, issued in 1941, depicts the scenic Vallée de la Meuse in the Ardennes region. Designed and engraved by Henry Cheffer, it belongs to the “Sites et Monuments” series, which showcased French landscapes and landmarks. Printed in a dark green shade, the design illustrates the winding Meuse River flowing between mountains with a small village in the foreground. This issue was released during the wartime period of German occupation, adding historical depth to its significance. Widely collected, it remains a fine example of French line-engraved artistry.
