This evocative Greek semi-postal stamp depicts a tender scene of a mother cradling her infant, engraved in a rich carmine-violet tone. Issued with a surtax (+50 drachmai), it supported national welfare or charitable programs—typical of Greek semi-postals of the mid-20th century. The design is finely rendered with soft cross-hatching and classical artistic sensitivity, reflecting Greece’s strong tradition of social-themed philatelic issues. The inscription “ΑΣΠΙΩΤΗ-ΕΛΚΑ” refers to Aspioti-ELKA, the renowned Greek printing house known for high-quality intaglio and typography work. A desirable humanitarian-themed stamp for topical collectors focusing on “Motherhood,” “Charity,” or “Social Welfare.”
