This commemorative set from Sharjah & Dependencies honors General Charles de Gaulle, one of France’s most iconic leaders. Issued in 1970 following his passing, the stamps depict key moments of his life — de Gaulle in military uniform, with his wife Yvonne in an open car, and alongside U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, symbolizing Franco-American cooperation. Designed by Samir Ghantous, the set combines historical reverence with elegant portraiture, reflecting Sharjah’s tribute to a statesman who shaped modern Europe. A notable issue for collectors of world leaders and Middle Eastern commemoratives.
