This video is 2nd Part of Most Valuable Postage Stamps of French Empire. France has a fascinating postal history. France issued its first Stamp on January 1, 1849. Sir Jacques Jean Barre designed these first stamps. The medallion features the head of goddess Ceres facing left. In 1852, France issued a net set of definitive stamps. These postage stamps retained the inscription "REPUB FRANC". However the Ceres was replaced by the head of Louis napoleon Bonaparte.
In 1853, 2nd French Empire was proclaimed. The stamps inscription was changed to 'EMPIRE FRANC". These stamps retained the head of NMapolean III in the medallion.
In my video I have selected some of the most valuable and some rare French stamps of classic and modern era. I have given brief description of each stamp. In my video the values mentioned are only for the stamp shown adjacent to description.
