marianne

Let's start off our world tour of Olympic participating countries with the host: France

the 2018 version of Marianne designed by 'YZ', a French graphist (or graphic designer) living in Abidjan, and engraved by Elsa Catelin


 

 

Olivier Ciappa's 2013 version of Marianne and youth


Marianne and stars designed & engraved by Yves Beaujard released in 2008




This 2003 version was designed by Eve Luquet and engraved by Claude Jumelet

 

 

New versions of these stamps are released every five years by the president.  I have yet to receive any 2023 ones

In case you've lost count, France is hosting the Olympics for the sixth time this summer.

    I have always been fascinated by the Marianne stamp and its variety. So, always happy to see or get another one.

    My northern stamps are here.

    Fascinating evolution of the Marianne stamps. I'm also curious to see what the new 2023 design will look like! Will you share it once you receive it?

    I always enjoy the Marianne stamps variety and theme. Macron chose 'Marianne of the Future' but I, like you, have not seen one in the wild.
