This finely engraved stamp from the Republic of Chad depicts a traditional tanner (tanneur) engaged in manual leather-working, a tribute to the country’s artisanal heritage. Issued in the early post-independence period, the design shows rich brown and blue tones, with detailed scenes of hide preparation and drying. The 1F denomination appears at upper right alongside POSTES, typical of Chad’s formative definitive issues. An excellent thematic item for collectors of African crafts, labour scenes, and engraved stamps, valued for its strong composition and cultural authenticity.
