1 in stock
This French semi-postal stamp, issued in 1960, commemorates Michel de L’Hospital (1507–1573), a renowned statesman and humanist of the French Renaissance who served as Chancellor under King Charles IX. The design, engraved by R. Cami and Mazelin, presents a finely detailed portrait of L’Hospital in violet tones, set against a background depicting a Renaissance-era fortress, symbolizing stability and reform. The denomination 0.10 + 0.05 F indicates that five centimes of the value went toward charitable causes, in line with France’s tradition of fundraising through postage. The stamp honors L’Hospital’s advocacy for religious tolerance during the Wars of Religion and his legacy as a figure of reason and moderation.
