This 10-pence commemorative stamp was issued by Guernsey in 1975 and depicts the Tapestry Room at Hauteville House, the former residence of the famous writer Victor Hugo during his exile on the island. The design reproduces a richly detailed tapestry scene showing figures and horses in a pastoral setting, reflecting the artistic décor of Hugo’s home. Printed by Courvoisier S.A., the stamp combines fine engraving with warm earthy tones that highlight the historic interior artwork. It forms part of a series celebrating Guernsey’s cultural heritage and notable landmarks. For collectors, it represents both literary history and decorative art connected to Victor Hugo’s residence.
