1940 Dutch Children's Charity Stamps: Child with Flowers

Netherlands · 1940 · Various (1½c, 2½c, 5c, 7½c, 10c)

A set of five Dutch semi-postal stamps from 1940, each featuring a stylized depiction of a child holding a bouquet of flowers.

Issued during the early years of World War II and the German occupation of the Netherlands, these 'Kinderzegels' (Children's Stamps) were semi-postal issues, with a surcharge likely benefiting children's welfare or other charitable causes during a period of national hardship.
