Issued in 1953, this stamp is part of the early Workers and Soldiers series of the People’s Republic of China. The design features a factory worker operating a lathe, symbolizing industrial development and the central role of labor in the early PRC economic plan. A flag stands behind the worker, reinforcing themes of production, national pride, and socialist progress.
Printed in a strong green shade with clean engraving and sharp lines, this issue represents a classic example of early PRC propaganda-style design work. This example is Mint Never Hinged, with fresh paper, strong color, and intact perforations—ideal for collectors of early PRC, industrial themes, and 1950s Chinese definitives/commemoratives.
