Issued by Correos del Perú, this 2 centavos green stamp promotes the nation’s social welfare initiative for children. The design, printed by the Columbian Bank Note Company, features a symbolic depiction of a mother cradling a child with radiant sunbeams behind her—representing care and protection. In the background stands the Colonia Infantil de Vacaciones de Ancón, a seaside holiday home established to promote child health and recreation. This humanitarian-themed issue highlights Peru’s mid-20th-century efforts toward child welfare and public health awareness.
