Description: The striking vertical design was issued to generate vital funding for the Netherlands Red Cross during the final stages of the Second World War. At its center is a dark purple profile portrait of Princess Juliana, who was living in exile at the time due to the German occupation of the Netherlands. Her image is enclosed within an ornate, multi-tiered frame striped in the red, white, and blue colors of the Dutch national flag. The top left corner displays a prominent red cross symbol, while the lower panel features the text "LUCHT POST" alongside the split face value of 50 cents for standard airmail postage and a 100-cent surcharge intended entirely for charity relief.
