The 4 R stamp issued in 1972 shows us also a painting or a detail most probably from the Napoleon time, but till so far I have not found the painting, there are many vessels most probably at anchor on a road, she is not under sail. Most paintings at that time show warships under sail. On the left is a French ship-of-the-line, looks like a three-decker. Who has more info on the painting after this stamp was designed.
Ras Al Khaima 1972 3R sg?, scott?
