    I believe this to be a Plate Proof. The printer of this stamp issue Fournier S.A sold its philatelic archives of stamp artwork and proofs in 2007 through the German stamp dealer and auction house Gärtner. I purchased this material from Auktionshaus Gärtner. Follow this link for a 10 page article on the Fournier Archive and modern stamp printing
