FRANCE (1998) Seville. Die proof of engraving signed by LAVERGNE and marked "Seville / Henri Collet. These engravings were made in conjunction with designs accepted by the post office and consist of themes related to the accepted design. There were only 11-15 made and they are printed on the same heavy paper as the artist proofs. One was made for the Postal Museum; the rest were given to the engraver and the designer of the stamp in question. The dimensions are 19 x 21 cm, but the die itself (and hence the image, including the signature) measures 14 x 14 cm. Scott No 2661, Yvert No 3163. Collet spent much of his life collecting Spanish folk songs, hence the connection to Seville.
