The design commemorates the sixtieth anniversary of the Netherlands Red Cross, spanning the years 1867 to 1927. Lion Cachet, a figure associated with the Dutch decorative arts movement, applies his characteristic graphic precision to this philatelic commission.\n\nThe composition features a central red cross, which serves as the primary emblem of the organisation. Surrounding this cross are stylised white doves, symbols of peace, set against a deep blue background. The integration of these elements demonstrates the artist's ability to balance symbolic narrative with the functional requirements of stamp design. The text '1867 NEDERLAND 15 CENT 1927' is clearly legible at the base of each stamp, maintaining the formal structure expected of official postal issues.\n\nLion Cachet was known for his work in various media, including woodcuts, batik, and graphic design. His approach often favoured clear lines and a disciplined use of colour. In this instance, the high-contrast palette of red, blue, and white ensures visibility and clarity. The stamps are presented here on a plain background, preserving the original context of the archival specimen, complete with the collector's markings visible at the bottom. This work provides a glimpse into the intersection of state-sponsored graphic design and the aesthetic principles of the early twentieth century in the Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/fruit-alphonse-mucha\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFruit - Alphonse Mucha — Alphonse Mucha\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carel Adolph Lion Cachet","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58091146084687,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58091157225807,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58091157258575,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58091157291343,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58091157324111,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Twee-Rode-Kruiszegels-van-15-cent_Poster_CompositorV1_1782782770227.jpg?v=1782786990","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/twee-rode-kruiszegels-van-15-cent-carel-adolph-lion-cachet","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
