Issued in 1911 by the French postal authority in Morocco, this typographed stamp belongs to the “Type Mouchon” series, designed by Louis-Eugène Mouchon. The stamp features a seated allegorical figure holding the “Droits de l’Homme” (Rights of Man), a classic symbol of republican ideals. Printed in pale violet and overprinted in red with “35” and Arabic script, this issue reflects the dual influence of French colonial administration and local linguistic usage. The base design, originally denominated in French centimes, was adapted with surcharges in Spanish currency to accommodate postal needs in the mixed-influence zones of Morocco. With dimensions of 21 x 24 mm, perforation 14 x 13½, and no watermark, this stamp is catalogued as Michel FR-MA 33, Scott FR-MA 34, Yvert MA 33, and Stanley Gibbons FR-MA 36. Its use illustrates both the logistical complexity and the symbolic weight of colonial-era philately.
