Seychelles 1989 Bicentenary of the French Revolution Souvenir Sheet

This is a philatelic souvenir sheet issued by the Republic of Seychelles in 1989 to commemorate the Bicentenary of the French Revolution (1789-1989). The sheet features a single perforated 10-Rupee postage stamp integrated into a larger decorative selvage. The artwork is a detailed watercolor-style illustration depicting a historical scene of French soldiers and civilians on a tropical coast, likely representing the French influence in the Seychelles. In the background, two sailing ships are visible on the water near mountainous terrain, and a French tricolor flag flies from a tall pole. The stamp itself contains the denomination 'R10', the country name 'SEYCHELLES', and the text 'WORLD STAMP EXPO '89' alongside the official bicentenary anniversary logo. The printed text is in both English and French. The physical condition appears excellent with clean perforations, vibrant multi-color printing, and no visible foxing or creasing. This item was produced for the international philatelic market and honors the long-standing cultural ties between France and the Seychelles archipelago.
