Guadeloupe Postage Stamp (Likely 2 Francs)

The item is a rectangular postage stamp from Guadeloupe, displaying a design primarily in shades of reddish-pink and a darker, possibly olive-brown or dark gray background. The overall impression suggests a fairly small, standard-sized stamp. The upper left portion clearly shows the word "GUADELOUPE" in a serif font, indicating its origin. Below this text, on the left side of the stamp, there is an illustration featuring what appears to be palm trees, or similar tropical foliage, rendered in a reddish-pink hue against a lighter background, possibly white or cream. On the right side, a large numerical '2' is visible, likely denoting its monetary value in Francs, given the historical currency of Guadeloupe. Below the '2', smaller, less legible text can be seen, which might indicate the currency unit or additional postal information. In the bottom center, there is a small crest or emblem with the intertwined letters 'TR', although the full context or meaning of this emblem is not clear from the image. The stamp has perforations along its edges, which are typical for postage stamps, though the edges appear slightly worn or uneven, suggesting it may have been detached from a sheet. The visible condition indicates some fading or discoloration consistent with age, and the image quality itself makes it difficult to assess fine details of wear, repairs, or specific paper texture. However, the design is still largely intact and legible. The style period would likely be late 19th or early to mid-20th century, a common era for such colonial postal issues.
