Sunday Stamps | Dole


This is a stamp from 1971, but I have got it on an envelope a month ago. It is dedicated to the commune of Dole, in the Jura (France).

The Place aux Fleurs (='Flowers Square') is located in the heart of Dole. You can find there the Fontaine de l'enfant à l'amphore (='Fountain of the child with the amphora'), created by the sculptor François-Marie Rosset (1743-1824). The sculpture is actually a copy, because it was damaged during the liberation of the city. 

This is a post for Sunday Stamps. Today's theme is Statues

(And let me add  a recent post about sculptures on stamps to Sunday Stamps.)
