Philately Fridays: Netherlands, 1967


5 cool stamps from The Netherlands. Loving the minimal illustration style, warm color scheme, and animal-themed imagery reminiscent of children's books.

Philately Fridays: German Federal Republic, 1964

The tale of Sleeping Beauty told through four postage stamps, done up in a classic flat illustration style which still remains relevant today.

Related: Little Red Riding Hood stamps from the same artist.

Philately Fridays: German Federal Republic, 1960

Here's the story of Rotkäppchen, better known as Little Red Riding Hood, as told through postage stamps. I love how much detail is achieved through such a stripped-down illustration style and limited color palette. More of these vintage fairy tale stamp series to come!

Here's one from Canada, celebrating 100 years of the Salvation Army. Really digging the thin gold lines and warm color scheme here.
