Little Red Riding Hood Welfare Stamp

West Germany · 1960 · 10+5 DM

The stamp depicts a stylized illustration of Little Red Riding Hood carrying a basket, set against a backdrop of trees, representing the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale.

This stamp is part of a German social welfare series, where a surcharge (the +5 DM) was added to the face value to raise funds for charitable causes, a common practice in post-war Germany.
