This triangular postage due stamp from the Republic of Gabon features a vivid illustration of the avocado fruit (Avocat), symbolizing the country’s rich tropical agriculture. Issued in the mid-20th century, it carries a face value of 1 Franc and was used to indicate insufficient postage on mail. The design, by Géo François and engraved by G. Bétémps, shows two avocados hanging from a leafy branch, accompanied by a delicate blossom, printed in detailed green and red tones. Its unusual triangular format makes it a striking piece in African philately and a fine example of Gabon’s botanical themes.
