We're the French Polynesia stamp club. This YT 203 is the most important stamp in our collection, we have this stamp in Proof, Engrave Proof, Artist Proof, Sheet & Imperf Block. Tumata Teutau is a real person, but rarely mentioned in Philately. Chrsitian Beslu wrote about Tumata Teutau, but he passed away 3 years. He was the leading expert in French Polynesian Philately. Our Research Dept. has been trying to locate the original photo of Bora Bora girl for years.

Oh Fascinating!! Yes I learned quite a bit about Christian Beslu and his impressive work in French Polynesian Philately, this was a LOT of fun to research and learn about. Maybe someone here will see the video and recognize the original photo, you never know!? if so I'll tag you if they do. We have more people looking now 😊

At the beginning I was a bit tricked.

And than you came around with 1955, of course. This stamp is beautiful. It is absolute interesting, that you found the girl. With a lot of work, but this picture was surprising. He took this pic and made a nice stamp out of it. What a nice story. Thank you for that.
