This set of six semi-postal stamps was issued to raise funds for the fight against tuberculosis. Each stamp depicts a significant piece of Belgian cultural heritage, including the Reliquary of St. Remaclus, the Baptismal Font of Renier de Huy, and the Reliquary of Pope Alexander I. The designs highlight the nation's rich artistic and religious history.

Issued during a period of post-war prosperity, these stamps reflect a common practice in Europe of using surcharged 'semi-postal' issues to fund social causes like public health initiatives.
