Jules Auguste Sage (Paris, 16 March 1829 - Paris, 13 October 1908)[1][note 1] was a French poet, artist and sculptor.
Sage exhibited at the Paris Salons between 1870 and 1901 and became a member of the Société des artistes français in 1883.
[3] He designed the Type Sage postage stamps, also referred as the Peace and Commerce issue that the postal administration selected in a competition.
The engraving was made by Louis-Eugène Mouchon.
[4] His name appears, in very small type, in the bottom left corner of the stamps and Mouchon is attributed in the right corner.
