LA POSTE FRANCE on 17 April 1978 issued a first day cover stamp marking the sesquicentennial birth anniversary of Leo Tolstoy. This vertical stamp rendered in a dark green and olive-green using an Intaglio method. The designer and engraver was Jacques Jubert. A total of 3,000,000 stamps were printed.
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoi was Russian aristocrat who lived from 9 September 1828 till 20 November 1910. He is generally referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy. He was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. He received nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902, and 1909; the fact that he never won is a major controversy to some.

Tolstoy's notable works include the novels "War and Peace" (1869) and "Anna Karenina" (1878), often cited as the pinnacle of realist fiction. He first achieved literary acclaim in his twenties with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, "Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth" (1852–1856), and "Sevastopol Sketches" (1855), based upon his experiences in the Crimean War. His fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novellas such as "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" (1886), "Family Happiness" (1859), "After the Ball" (1911), and "Hadji Murad" (1912). He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays.
