What This Poster Stamp Is All About: This 1940 Belgian anti-tuberculosis charity and health fundraising stamp was issued by the Œuvre Nationale Belge de Défense Contre la Tuberculose, the Belgian National Organization for Defense Against Tuberculosis. Sold for 5 francs “Pour La Santé” (For Health), it helped raise funds and public awareness for the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis. The double-barred red Cross of Lorraine was widely used internationally as the emblem of the organized campaign against tuberculosis.

The Design Features A Nurse Or Healthcare Worker Protectively Holding A Young Child While Looking Toward A Large Shield Bearing The Red Cross Of Lorraine, Symbolizing Protection Against Tuberculosis. The Strong Blue, Red, Black, And White Design Combines Public-health symbolism with an appealing humanitarian image. The denomination “5 Fr.” appears at upper left, “Pour La Santé” across the top, and the year 1940 at lower right. Visible Text Reads: 5 Fr. Pour La Santé 1940 Œuvre Nationale Belge de Défense Contre la Tuberculose. Original Language: French 5 Fr. Pour La Santé 1940 Œuvre Nationale Belge de Défense Contre la Tuberculose. English Translation: 5 Francs For Health 1940 Belgian National Organization For Defense Against Tuberculosis. Year Of Issue: 1940. Country Of Origin: Belgium. Currency: 5 Belgian Francs.

The Cross Of Lorraine Became The International Symbol Of The Anti-Tuberculosis Movement After Its Adoption By The International Conference On Tuberculosis In 1902. This Is A Charity Fundraising Or Poster Stamp Rather Than A Government Postage Stamp, And Its Large Format And Dramatic Public-Health Artwork Were Intended To Draw Attention To The Fight Against Tuberculosis.

Thanks So Much For Stopping By! Most Of The Poster Stamps And Cinderellas I Offer Are Truly Old Historic Treasures! Many Are Close To 100 Years Old Or More. Because Of Their Age, You Might Notice A Few Minor Imperfections Here And There. They're Full Of History And Character, But They Most Definitely Aren't Post Office Fresh. That's Especially True For Cinderella And Poster Stamps, So Please Take A Good Look At The Scans Because They're An Important Part Of The Description. Also, Please Note That The Backs Of Poster Stamps Are Typically Considered Much Less Important Than The Fronts, And Descriptions Can Be A Bit Subjective. If The Condition Of The Back Is Important To You, Just Reach Out. I Am Happy To Provide More Details Or Additional Scans.

I Do My Best To Describe Everything Honestly And Accurately, And To The Best Of My Ability, I Guarantee That All Items Are Genuine (Unless Otherwise Noted). If A Reprint, Reproduction Or Forgery Is Listed, It Is Clearly Noted In The Stamp Description. I'm Not A Philatelic Expert, Just A Passionate Collector And Seller Who Cares About Getting It Right. Occasionally A Mistake Might Slip Through, But If An Item Turns Out To Be Fundamentally Not As Described, I'll Make It Right With A Refund.
