This Dutch semi-postal stamp, issued in 1946, features a portrait of Aagje Deken (1741–1804), a celebrated Dutch writer best known for her literary partnership with Betje Wolff. Printed in red, the design shows her in traditional attire alongside a quill, symbolizing her contributions to literature. Issued as a “Zomerzegel” (Summer Stamp) with a surcharge, it carried a face value of 4 cents plus 3 cents for charitable purposes. This issue is part of a post-war fundraising effort in the Netherlands and commemorates significant cultural figures of the nation.
