Again outside her stamp

Prematurely fired next July 2008 by Nicolas, the Marianne des Français definitive design found shelter at the French Ministry of Defence.

On invitations to a conference day about the duty of defence (in France these days, it is discovered in high school and concluded with one day of tests and presentations at 18 years old), here she is, the quiteful profile of the French Republic's allegory, designed by illustrator Thierry Lamouche.

And it is not the first time she escapes her stamp.
