Issued on 21 May 1981, this 1.60 franc French stamp honors the induction of three national heroes—Jean Moulin, Jean Jaurès, and Victor Schœlcher—into the Panthéon in Paris, the resting place of France’s great figures. Moulin represents the Resistance, Jaurès stands for peace and socialism, and Schœlcher symbolizes the abolition of slavery. The stamp, designed by Claude Forget, features finely engraved portraits in maroon tones above a blue rendering of the Panthéon dome. A powerful issue reflecting France’s enduring values of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
