This colonial-era postage stamp from Guadeloupe (French West Indies) features a finely engraved depiction of sugarcane processing — “La Canne Mise au Moulin” (“The Cane Put into the Mill”). The design, by H. Cheffer and engraved by Hourriez, illustrates workers feeding sugarcane into a traditional mill, symbolizing one of the island’s major historical industries. Printed in orange and violet, the stamp carries the inscription “RF” (République Française), reflecting Guadeloupe’s status as a French territory. Issued in the 1930s, it belongs to the “Colonial Allegorical and Industrial Scenes” definitive series.
