This stamp was issued to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the death of French playwright, Moliere. The stamp depicts Moliere dressed in costume as Sganarelle. Sganarelle was a character from a Moliere play entitled, Sganarelle, ou Le Cocu Imaginaire, The Imaginary Cuckold. This fantastic stamp was engraved by Jacques Derrey. This is the first stamp I've seen by this engraver and I like what I see. I shall have to look up his other works,
Until next time...
Stay Engraver Crazy!
