Women on Stamps | Doutzen Kroes


On 12 September 2016, PostNL brought out a 10-stamp sheetlet featuring ten photographs of the Netherlands’ most famous model, Doutzen Kroes. Top photographer Anton Corbijn provided the photography especially for the "Doutzen, mode and muse" stamps.

I think there aren't a lot of stamps dedicated to models.

For the new edition of Sunday Stamps-II A to Z, I have decided to show some of the stamps I have got on letters and postcards, related to one topic: women. This is the post for the letter K.

More women on stamps.

  1. I don't think I have seen any other model stamps. I would struggle with their names.

    1. Me too, I don't know any name! I found these stamps original, for the theme and the photographic composition.

  2. I googled 'Doutzen' to learn more about the name and all I got were pages of Doutzen Kroes!

    1. Doutzen is a Frisian name (the province Friesland has its own language), uncommon in the rest of the Netherlands, and it means dove.

    3. Thanks for sending the stamps. I didn't have a lot of options for k!

      Oh, and I also wondered about the name. I like the meaning.

  3. I like the choice of black and white photographs with the blue circles.
