International Letter Writing Week

France · 1970 · 0,50 F

This stamp commemorates International Letter Writing Week. The design features a stylized, colorful drawing of a baby or young child holding a pen, seemingly writing a letter, set against a simple background.

Issued to promote the art of personal correspondence, this stamp was part of a global effort by postal administrations to encourage letter writing during an era before digital communication became dominant.
