History of the French Colonies Stamps
The first French Colonies stamp was the 1859 10c bistre ‘Eagle’ French Colonial General Issue. These general issues were, with the exception of the first ‘Eagle’ design very similar to regular French stamps, however with slightly different colours or imperforate instead of perforated, or in the case of the 1881–86 Commerce stamps with a “Colonies / Postes” inscription. The stamps are collected used bearing the postmark of the colony they were used at, making them forerunners of the first stamps of those colonies. The Yvert and Tellier catalogue gives comprehensive listings of the General Issue's and postal history so postmarked, by colony. From the swaying palms of Polynesia to the frozen wastes of the Southern and Antarctic Territories, and from the deadly jungles of Guiana to the sophistication of Tangier, this wonderful area of philately and postal history offers stamp collectors a little bit of everything.
