Netherlands Antilles Children's Welfare Stamps - Nursery Rhymes
Netherlands Antilles · 1974 · 15c+10c, 20c+10c, 30c+15c, 40c+20c
A set of four stamps, each depicting a stylized scene from a children's song or nursery rhyme, featuring children engaged in various activities. The designs are symbolic and colorful, though shown in black and white in this photograph.
These are 'Kinderpostzegels' (Children's Welfare Stamps) issued by the Netherlands Antilles, a tradition where a surcharge on the stamp's face value directly supports charities benefiting children. This 1974 issue highlights local children's songs and contributes to child welfare.
