The French Congo was the original France French colony established in the present day area of the Republic of the Congo , Gabon , and the Central African Republic . It began in 1880 as a protectorate , and its borders with Cabinda province Cabinda , Cameroons , and the Congo Free State were established by treaties over the next decade. French Congo was temporarily divided between Gabon and Middle Congo in 1906, before being reunited as French Equatorial Africa in 1910 in an attempt to copy the relative success of French West Africa . The first postage stamp s for the colony were overprint s issued in 1891 on the generic issue for the French colonies . They read Congo francais followed by the value, either 5c, 10c, or 15c. In 1892 the omnibus Navigation and Commerce issue included stamps inscribed CONGO FRANCAIS . A pictorial series followed, in 1900 its images included a leopard , Bakalois woman, and a coconut grove, printed in pairs of colors, some rather garish. A couple of provisional overprint surcharge s on the Navigation and Commerce stamps proved necessary in 1900, and two more were needed on the pictorials, in 1903. The watermark s of the pictorials of 1900 are unlike any other watermarks used in the French area they are plant branches, with thistle for the low values up to 15c , rose for middle values up to 75c , and an olive branch for the three franc values.
