Originally issued for New Caledonia, this classic colonial design was later overprinted “ILES WALLIS et FUTUNA” to serve postal needs of the remote Pacific islands. The scenic vignette features a coastal tree, canoe, and island landscape, beautifully printed in green and brown tones. Such provisional overprints were produced in limited quantities, making them highly desirable among French colonial and Oceania specialists. The bold typography and clean surcharge give it strong visual appeal and historical significance. A charming early representation of Wallis & Futuna postal autonomy and a key space-filler for territorial collections.
