[ There are two stamps, one from Martinique 1945 and other from Guadeloupe 1945, that must have been designed by Edmund Dulac, but I have no data from the catalogs.. I only know that the printing was from De La Rue.Co, London in both cases.. knowing that Edmund Dulac used always British Printers,we could assume that those stamps were designed by him, but I prefer to follow the Catalogs and so, I don't present those two stamps... ]
