Netherlands 1960 Complete Year Set

Netherlands · 1960 · Various

This complete year set from the Netherlands for 1960 includes two series. The first is the annual Child Welfare semi-postal issue, featuring five charming portraits of children. The second is the Europa issue, which this year also marked World Refugee Year, depicting a stylized tree composed of the letters 'EUROPA' providing shelter.

Issued during the post-war reconstruction period, these stamps reflect the Netherlands' focus on social welfare, international cooperation through the Europa series, and humanitarian concerns like the World Refugee Year.
