This 1973 French semi-postal stamp (0.30 + 0.10 Fr) was issued in support of the Red Cross. The design by Pierre Gandon features a detail from the "Sépulchre de Tonnerre," a 15th-century funerary monument located in Burgundy. The intricate engraving captures the serene expression of the hooded figure, rendered in fine detail with subtle shading. The small red cross emblem appears at the top left, symbolizing the charitable surcharge directed to Red Cross activities. A classic example of France’s cultural and humanitarian themes combined in philately.
