Going through envelopes, found these SS Normandie Stamps. So far, they're my favorites along with Zeppelins.   |

I do believe this is French, but in a pretty rough shake. This was the best scan I could get from it. Any identification help?  |

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

I thought these curious and placed the only bid on it shortly before it ended and here it is. Yvert & Tellier # 1180 - 1186, 1958 third series Coat of Arms. What is most striking to me, is that all of these have excellent color registration. This entire series of stamps (there are quite a few) have noted varieties coleurs très décalées, (very offbeat colors is the google translation) full pane gutter pairs. Now how to lay out some pages to get mounted and into album!        |

Stamps taking me back to my youth, the fascination of British Pond Life (I kept Crested newts ) Pond Life on a Plate Bernard Palissy 1510 - 1590 Scott B313 SP197 1957 12f + 03f Semi Postal French Huguenot (Protestant) Potter of rusticware Highly decorated large oval platters featuring small animals in relief among vegetation, the animals apparently often being moulded from casts taken of dead specimens. Palissy was imprisoned for his belief during the tumultuous French Wars of Religion and sentenced to death. He died of poor treatment in the Bastille in 1589 (1590 according to Burty 1886).   |

A bold statement in a book review made me think about stamps. “The Enlightenment’s Most Dangerous Woman: Émilie du Châtelet and the Making of Modern Philosophy” is a recent biography authored by Andrew Janiak. du Châtelet (1706-1749) was a mathematician, scientist and philosopher. In his review of the book, Adam Gopnik states that Janiak "makes the largely persuasive case that du Châtelet was not just a significant figure in eighteenth-century physics but one of the most important women in European history." I was unaware of this woman, but aware of the gender bias in the history of science. I wondered whether du Châtelet is on a French stamp and if so, when she made her appearance. A quick search on Colnet indicates she is on at least one French issue, released quite recently (2019) (Scott 5585 A2901, 88c):  I now have another book to read, and another stamp to add to those I want to pass along to my granddaughter. |
