Dick Bruna Stamps


Dick Bruna has designed some fabulous stamps over the years, mainly for Japan and mostly of Miffy, but I really like these Nederland ones released in 1969.

From a little research I think they are either celebrating Childrens' songs or Child welfare. The use of colour in solid blocks is classic Bruna - I love the little red faces of the singing children, although they do look like they could explode at any minute!

More Dick Bruna loveliness here, here, here and here.

Sigh such joy! I keep buying Miffy books for petit garcon - is this wrong!

Not wrong at all, I'm tempted to buy some for myself!
