This Belgian semi-postal stamp issued in 1977 honors Jean Capart (1877–1947), a pioneering Egyptologist often regarded as the father of Belgian Egyptology. The design, in deep carmine, features Capart’s detailed portrait set against a backdrop of Egyptian hieroglyphs and temple relief figures, symbolizing his lifelong dedication to the study of ancient Egypt. The surcharge (10F + 5F) supported cultural causes. Issued by Belgique–België, this commemorative piece elegantly connects Belgium’s academic heritage with the timeless allure of Egyptian civilization.
