This striking 1.00 franc stamp from France, issued in 1975, commemorates ARPHILA 75, the International Philatelic Exhibition held in Paris. Designed by Beat Knoblauch, it features a bold, stylized human eye rendered in a pop-art halftone pattern of purple and orange dots — symbolizing vision, observation, and the art of seeing, central themes in both philately and design.

The exhibition marked a major event for collectors worldwide, celebrating the bicentenary of the French postal service and showcasing innovations in stamp design. The modernist aesthetic of this issue reflects the vibrant visual culture of 1970s France and remains one of the most iconic French philatelic designs of the decade.
