Réimpressions de 1862
Return To Catalogue - France Ceres type (1849-1875) - France Napoleon III issues - France overview
Note: on my website many of the
pictures can not be seen! They are of course present in the catalogue;
contact me if you want to purchase it.
In 1862 some reprints were made of the first issues of France, generally in lighter colours than the original stamps on whiter paper.
Reprints exist of all values of the Ceres issue, including the unissued 20 c blue and the essay (but with '25 c' overprint instead of '25'). Both types of the 40 c ('4' different) were reprinted. Examples of Ceres reprints:

The sizes of the reprints are also slightly different from the genuine stamps.
The stamps of Napoleon III of 1852, with inscription 'REPUB FRANC' were also reprinted in 1862 (both values 10 c and 25 c). I've seen such a reprint with the upper right corner removed, to prevent illicit use.

The values 25 c and 1 F (also tete beche) imperforates stamps of Napoleon III of 1853, with inscription 'EMPIRE FRANC' were also reprinted in 1862. The 1 F reprint was printed on greyish paper.
