Ontwerp voor een postzegel met een gekroonde W 1939

This design for a postage stamp by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, created in 1939, features a stylized "W" crowned with a golden crown. The "W" is centered against a backdrop of repeating Dutch tricolor ribbons in red, white, and blue, alluding to the Netherlands. The graphic design employs bold colors and geometric shapes, characteristic of Art Deco, which was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. This design reflects a nationalistic sentiment and celebrates the Dutch monarchy through its iconic symbol. This piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a testament to the artistry and design sensibilities of the era.
