Last Friday I got a postcard from the Netherlands.
It shows many of the things the Netherlands are famous for: cows, a windmill, Delftware with houses along the Canals of Amsterdam, klompen, stroopwafels and Gouda cheese. Most striking omissions for sure are bikes and tulips.
A matching stamp with Amsterdam houses was used. It is from a set of five international value stamps about Dutch Icons and was issued on 3rd January 2014. One day earlier already a set of ten national value stamps on the same theme were issued, which used the same designs but with different colours.
Thank You very much Marcel!
