Issued under the Vichy regime in 1942, this semi-postal stamp (2 fr + 3 fr) depicts Marshal Philippe Pétain overseeing a rural harvest scene. Designed and engraved by Pierre Gandon, it symbolizes the agrarian ideology promoted by the Vichy government through the “Corporation Paysanne” — an organization meant to unify and regulate French farmers. The design, rendered in deep blue, contrasts the dignified portrait of Pétain with pastoral laborers working the land, reflecting the regime’s “Work, Family, Fatherland” ethos. Despite its propagandistic roots, it remains an important historical issue illustrating France’s wartime philately and the use of stamps for political messaging.
