Women on Stamps | Unknown Woman with(out) Umbrella

This stamp was issued in 2016 with the title of the photography is "Toronto" by Lutz Dille (1960). It belongs to the 2013-2017 Canadian Photography series.

Lutz Dille, born in Leipizg, immigrated to Canada in 1951, arriving in Hamilton at age 29 with a few items of clothing, $30 in cash and his treasured Leica camera. Nowadays he is considered one of the country’s leading documentary photographers.


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.

  4. An unexpected theme - I would never have thought of it - but of course you know I often overlook an umbrella, even a large one :)
