As a bonus, another woman (?) without umbrella... This is one of the childcare stamps issued in the Netherlands in 1988, under the title Kind en Water. It was designed from a child's felt pen drawing. I found an interesting article about how these stamps were actually printed.

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 U.
More women on stamps.
Such a nice idea, with and without umbrella! I would never have thought of the rain children's stamp - and you know more about Dutch stamps than I do :-) Thank you for sharing the information anout the printing procedure :-)
ReplyDeleteUploading the stamps gives me a nice excuse to look for some information about the stamps.
DeleteTwo more fine stamps. The rain stamps is so effective.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bob!
Deletethat Canadian stamp is so beautiful! I've found that black & white photos do have a special effect!
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of the 'unknown with(out) umbrellas... way to go for the U letter, far from the obvious :)
That collection of photographrers is very nice. I love also that the stamps are big, so you can see well the pictures.
DeleteAn unexpected theme - I would never have thought of it - but of course you know I often overlook an umbrella, even a large one :)
