For more than a century, a large number of prominent designers created stamps and posters on behalf of then state-owned postal services, from K.P.C. de Bazel to Piet Zwart and from Jan Bons to Ping Pong Design. All kinds of designs and techniques are displayed on the site.

Together, the designs for stamps, the stamps themselves and the posters offer a fascinating survey covering 150 years of graphic design in the Netherlands.
