Description

Laos (Kingdom) — UNICEF Children’s Drawings Issues 50k–120k & Airmail 80k (Scott 233–234 & C90)

This expressive and heartfelt grouping from the Kingdom of Laos, cataloged as Scott 233–234 and air mail Scott C90, features children’s drawings created for UNICEF, offering a rare and moving perspective on daily life, imagination, and hope as seen through young eyes.

Scott 233 (50 kip) depicts a child carrying water along a riverbank, rendered in a simple, hand-drawn style that emphasizes everyday responsibility and rural life. The UNICEF emblem appears prominently, reinforcing the humanitarian theme.

Scott 234 (120 kip) shows a child riding a water buffalo across a pastoral landscape, combining traditional agriculture with playful creativity. The scene reflects harmony between people, animals, and land.

Air mail Scott C90 (80 kip) completes the group with a village scene beneath a large tree, where children and adults gather near stilt houses. The warm tones and naive line work underscore community, shelter, and family life.

All three stamps are inscribed “Dessin d’Enfant” and feature the UNICEF emblem, highlighting the role of children’s voices in international humanitarian messaging. Each stamp is offered in mint never hinged (MNH) condition, with full original gum, sharp perforations, and clean, unfaded color.

A deeply human and visually distinctive group appealing to collectors of UNICEF issues, children’s art, social history, and Southeast Asian philately.
