A selection of cancellations used on French printed matter, newspapers, and periodicals.
The group includes Paris and provincial IMPRIMÉS / PP datestamps, JOURNAUX cancels from various bureaux, periodical-rate CDS, early typographic pre-cancels, and low-value Sage stamps cut from bandes de journaux.
Together they illustrate the different postal markings applied to bulk printed mail from the late 19th to early 20th century.
