some more stamps from Algeria.. first from the France period of Domination and in the end , some stamps from the 60's and 70's..(few..)

These are stamps of a very large series from 1936/1941.. A few posts ago, I think in April, I already present some more stamps of this series.. it is a series with 31 stamps, representing Landscapes , Monuments, and Views of Algeria..The $65 stamp is the only one of these that is not issued in 1936 [1937]..
Last time , I named this series "Sites et Paysages (1936/1941)" and I think it is a good name...
the perforation is 13 ..
