Stamp book 2023

2023 stamp book including all the stamps and blocks in the 2023 program (except Council of Europe and UNESCO stamps). Also includes a bookmark gift in tribute to Gustave Eiffel. New this year: a special Gustave Eiffel notebook. "I want one of my works to stand out at first glance in the midst of a hundred others", was how Tamara de Lempicka described her work, and undoubtedly her Jeune fille en vert, the iconic modern-day Venus that enabled the Roaring Twenties artist to etch her name in art history. Like her, the personalities featured in LeLivre des timbres 2023 have left their mark on their era: Alphonse Mucha's must-see posters, the poetic silences of the mime Marceau, Dominique Issermann's sharp eye, Nelson Mandela's victorious fight or Gustave Eiffel's genius constructions. Eiffel is featured in this issue to mark the centenary of his death, and is the subject of a special section highlighting the works he bequeathed to our society. In this book of stamps and gummed blocks from the year's philatelic program, meet men and women with exceptional destinies, relive great moments in history, take a trip and discover the cultural wealth of our heritage".
