<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bart, post: 490759, member: 5580&quot;]As georgiansilver amlready stated, &#039;la semeuse&#039; (I&#039;ll stand with the French name to avoid more errors <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) is looked at as another form of Marianne by many officials.</p><p>On this site: <a href="http://timbreposte.free.fr/mag-timbre/la-semeuse/la-semeuse.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://timbreposte.free.fr/mag-timbre/la-semeuse/la-semeuse.html" rel="nofollow">http://timbreposte.free.fr/mag-timbre/la-semeuse/la-semeuse.html</a> , the following is stated:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>La Semeuse est une figure féminine coiffée d&#039;un bonnet phrygien. C&#039;est donc aussi une Marianne présentée de plein pied alors qu&#039;on la limite habituellement à un buste. La Marianne est un symbole fort de la France, elle figure dans toutes les mairies. Le bonnet phrygien évoque la révolution française et l&#039;idée de liberté. </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><br /></p><p>La Semeuse is a female figure, capped with a Phrygian cap. That&#039;s why she is also regarded as a &quot;Marianne&quot; pictured in full length, where Marianne&#039;s picture is normally limited to a bust. La Marianne is a very important symbol of France, you can find her bust in every official building. The Phrygian cap is a symbol of the French Revolution and also of Liberty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
