This evocative 1 centime stamp from French Algeria, titled “Halte Saharienne” (Saharan Halt), was issued in 1926. Designed and engraved by Henri Cheffer, it depicts a lone camel and traveler pausing amid the vast Saharan dunes, with a desert marker or minaret in the distance. Rendered entirely in deep blue, the design is framed by ornate Moorish geometric borders with “RF” (République Française) emblems. This stamp belongs to Algeria’s first definitive series portraying the region’s landscapes and culture, printed by typography on unwatermarked paper.
