Netherlands 1970 Summer Stamps

Netherlands · 1970 · 25c

This semi-postal stamp, part of the annual 'Summer Stamps' series, features a stylized, colorful drawing of a child's face. The design is simple and modern, reflecting the artistic trends of the era. The '25+15c' denomination indicates that the additional 15 cents was a surtax collected for charitable purposes, a common practice for this series.

Issued annually from 1935, the Netherlands' Summer Stamps series raised funds for various social and cultural causes. The 1970 set continued this tradition, with designs often focusing on youth, nature, and cultural heritage.
