POLYNESIE FRANCAISE POSTE on 3 November 1958 issued a stamp set of nine "Island Scenes" denominated from 10 centimes to 20 francs. The designs depicted a Polynesian girl playing guitar, a Polynesian man in headdress, and a Polynesian girl collecting shells on the beach. Shown here are three of four stamps featuring the Polynesian girl playing guitar. All postage stamps of this set were engraved by famous French engraver Charles Mazelin and printed by the copperplate printing process known as intaglio.
