It has its origins in the 1975 Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe held in Helsinki, Finland.  |

Indonesia issued a charity stamp for Children's Welfare in 1954. Two youngsters are doing an umbrella dance. Does anyone know if charity stamps were issued in the following years? This set of 6 reminded me of the long-lasting Dutch Voor het Kind series; The Netherlands did have great influence in Indonesia.  |

Hungary featured elderly cars in their set of stamps for 1970. This Benz had 35 horsepower and could seat four. I was wondering where I would stand in a white dress while the engine is being cranked?.  |

Another elderly car in the Hungarian set of 1970 was the French Peugeot of 1894. It had only a few horsepower and not many were produced but it participated in the first car races.  |

China used a large umbrella with a solar panel pattern to illustrate protection of the environment, 2010. Umbrellas as symbols of protection might make a great subtopic.  |

Children sitting firmly on an anchor and protected from the rain by an umbrella, they are perhaps happy because it doesn't rain very often on Aruba. In a child's writing 'Vor het Kind', charity stamp in support of needy children. One recognizes the influence of the Netherlands, to which Aruba still belongs.  |

A child protected by a pretty umbrella. A very similar motive to that of Aruba from the Netherlands Antilles (right next to Aruba) for their charity stamp of 2003.  |
