Old And New Stamps Of Netherland / Holland ( Europe )

The first stamps of the Netherlands were issued in 1852 and depicted King William III.  During the  Second World War the Netherlands were occupied by the Germans.  Stamps issues continued and a number of semi-postal stamps were released.  The Netherlands were liberated on the 5th. of May 1945.  The previous stamps continued in use until a new series were introduced on 1st. of April 1946.  Regular stamps issues have continued since then including long-standing definitive stamps series, numerous commemorative stamps and regular issues of semi-postal stamps which have become a notable feature of Netherlands philately.
