MICHEL 568
SAAR VOTING
(Mother with Child)

These 4 stamps were issued on the 16th January 1935 and were the only stamps designed by a woman during the Third Reich period. Fraülien Emmy Glintzer designed the stamps depicting a more motherly Germania (when compared to the earlier Germania series of the German Empire) welcoming back her daughter. The imagery is meant to represent the German Empire welcoming the Saarland back into the German family. The stamps were produced on sheets (10x10) on coated paper, swastika watermark and perf K 14.
