Welfare 1968 dolls - Germany / Federal Republic of Germany 1968 - 20 Pfennig

In selecting the motives for the charitable brands, the wishes of the charities are largely taken into account, which are directly recipients of the premium income through the Federal Association of Free Welfare or self-marketing. The Federal Working Group of the Free Welfare Association uses for the research of welfare issues related issues of a demoscopic institute. The results of the fame and popularity of fairy tales were decisive for the order of the fairy tales used for the series. The fairy tale motives brought the Wohlfahrtsmarken an above-expectable upswing. If, nevertheless, the welfare associations decided to avoid a monotony to change the subject, the guarantee should be that the new motive group did not lag behind the fairy tales of popularity. This assumption is likely to be given for charity stamp series under the motto "The World of Play". Very extensive are the individual areas that offer themselves here. The charities decided to show dolls on the first new series. The participants in the order to obtain drafts were provided with a larger selection of doll paintings, whose procurement was very accommodating by the costume doll museum in Neustadt near Coburg. Altogether, 60 suggestions were received from eight artists. The decision was made in favor of the designs of Heinz and Hella Schillinger, Nuremberg, who has not used other dolls, but instead sitting and sitting in the required second series with the inscription »Deutsche Bundespost Berlin«. The originals are in the Germanisches National Museum Nuremberg, for the representation on the value 30 + 15 Pf in the Altonaer museum in Hamburg. The Wohlfahrtsmarken 1968 are produced by Bundesdruckerei Berlin in multi-color offset printing.
