Depuis l'avalanche des émissions consécutives au centenaire, cela faisait bien longtemps que l'on n'avait pas revu de nouveaux timbres à l'effigie de Jules Verne. Cette nouvelle série de 4 blocs, datés de 2007, nous vient de la République du Bénin. Une série quelque peu bucolique, mais qui nous change des éternels engins spatiaux et autres voitures de course auxquels Jules Verne est souvent associé sur les timbres. D'ailleurs qui sait... lui qui était (aussi) un écologiste avant l'heure, aurait peut-être apprécié de papillonner ainsi parmi les papillons...
Since the avalanche of issues for the centenary, it had been quite a while since we had seen again new stamps in Jules Verne's effigy. This new series of 4 sheetlets, dated 2007, comes from the Republic of Benin. A series a little bucolic, but which changes eternal spatial machines and the other racing cars with which Jules Verne is often associated on stamps. Moreover who knows... he who was (also) an ecologist prematurely, would maybe have appreciated to flutter so among the butterflies...
