This Belgian semi-postal stamp features a tender mother-and-child portrait, symbolizing care, protection, and humanitarian values. Issued as a charity (semi-postal) stamp, it carries a 1.75 franc postal value plus a 25 centime surtax, with the additional charge benefiting Red Cross and social welfare causes. The soft monochrome engraving and intimate composition reflect post-war European design aesthetics and Belgium’s long tradition of humanitarian philately. A classic thematic piece ideal for Red Cross, motherhood, children, or charity stamp collections, and a staple issue for collectors of Belgian semi-postals.
