Jules Auguste Sage (Paris, 16 March 1829 - Paris, 13 October 1908) was a French poet and artist. He is known for giving his name to a type of French postage stamp, Type Sage, that was first issued in 1876.
Life
Sage exhibited at the Salons between 1870 and 1901 and became a member of the Société des artistes français in 1883.
Stamps
He designed the Type Sage stamps, also referred as the Peace and Commerce stamps that the postal administration selected in a competition. The engraving was made by Louis-Eugène Mouchon. These stamps were a replacement for both the Ceres series that had lasted from 1849 to 1851 in different forms, and the Napoleon III stamps. The Type Sage were in use 1876 until 1900 and were the only stamps in use denominated from 1 centimes to 5 francs. In 1900 they were replaced by the Type Blanc, named after their designer Paul Joseph Blanc.
