This beautiful 1 centime stamp from Martinique, issued under the French colonial series, features a finely engraved portrait of a Creole woman adorned with a headscarf, earrings, and necklace — symbolizing the island’s rich cultural identity. Printed in brown and orange shades, the design represents the “Type Blanc” series used across many French territories in the early 20th century. The inscription “République Française” at the base reinforces its colonial connection, while the artwork celebrates Martinique’s local heritage and elegance.
