 Smoking pipes is a very typical image of an amiable rural old man in the 1960s in northern China, and can be seen in a lot of other stamps as well.  This stamp set is titled Advocate Quitting Smoking. Is it a little different from Anti-Smoking#65311; Actually prohibiting smoking in the public places are conducted many years later.  This one is interesting, actually I gave it to a friend for his poker collections, which seems more obvious than the title: Smoking and Health Conference. :-) |

From wikipedia, "Annette Mathilde Kolb (1870-1967) was a German author and pacifist. She became active in pacifist causes during World War I and this caused her political difficulties from then on. She left Germany in the 1920's and her works were banned during the Third Reich. In 1955 she won the Goethe Prize." Photo is from badische-zeitung.de.   |
