This 1975 stamp from Guernsey features Hauteville House, the residence of the famous French writer Victor Hugo during his exile in the Channel Islands. Located in St. Peter Port, the house served as Hugo’s home from 1856 to 1870 and was where he completed several notable literary works. The stamp beautifully illustrates the elegant façade of the historic building surrounded by its garden. Issued as part of a series celebrating Guernsey landmarks, the design was printed by Courvoisier S.A. The Queen Elizabeth II silhouette appears in the corner, reflecting Guernsey’s status within the British Crown Dependencies. For collectors, this issue combines literary heritage with architectural history.
