Netherlands 1942 Queen Wilhelmina 7½c Red Booklet Pane

Netherlands · 1942 · 7½c

This stamp features a right-facing portrait of Queen Wilhelmina, the long-reigning monarch of the Netherlands. The design is simple, with the denomination '7½ CENT' at the bottom and 'NEDERLAND' at the top. This particular item is a complete pane of 24 stamps (4x6) from a stamp booklet, in a distinctive red color.

Issued during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II, these stamps continued to feature the portrait of the exiled Queen Wilhelmina as a subtle act of national identity and resistance.
