Netherlands · 1964 · 5c + 3c

This stamp, part of the 1964 Children's Welfare series, features a charming drawing by a child depicting a boy observing a snail. The series was designed to raise funds for children's charities.

The annual Kinderpostzegels (Children's Stamps) program in the Netherlands raises significant funds for various children's welfare organizations through a surcharge on the stamp's face value. The sale of these stamps, as depicted in the source photograph, was a national event.
