The Cnamonix Ski Stamps

France has recently issued an

ed by French philatelists with a

Stamps representing a skier are
not new but none of these has
given us the artistic reproduction
that the $50 LII. by Degorce has
done. 1t shows the glaciers. valleys,
trees, etc, in tneir true perspec-
tive. 1t also gives us a true sense
of the color values seen in the AL
pine or Pyrenean heights.
Here the engraver with his
needle and the printer with his
coloring have SO well combined
their respective talents that on a
