Description: This vertical Polish postage stamp presents a colorful, stylized cartoon illustration from the classic children's book King Matt the First. The central figure depicts the youthful protagonist wearing a large pink hat, a yellow tunic, and a long flowing pink cape while riding on a decorated white horse. In the distant background, a small crowd gathers near two waving flags under a soft blue sky. The face value "60 GR" is clearly marked in the upper-left corner, balanced by the country name "POLSKA" running vertically down the left side in dark red capital letters. The lower margin includes the capitalized text "KRÓL MACIUŚ PIERWSZY" followed by "JANUSZ KORCZAK" along with his life dates, "22.7.1879 – 5.8.1942." A thick, black circular postal cancellation cuts through the lower-left corner of the design.
