This 1957 charity issue from Iceland features four designs highlighting health, rescue, and social welfare. Each stamp carries a surcharge to support local institutions. The 10+10 aurar in green depicts a child at the Reykjavík Children’s Hospital (Barnaspítali). The 50+25 aurar in brown shows a nurse assisting a patient at the Reykjalundur rehabilitation center. The 60+25 aurar in blue portrays elderly people at a retirement home (Elliheímili). Finally, the 75+25 aurar in indigo illustrates a dramatic sea rescue (Slysavarnir). These stamps are valued for their strong humanitarian themes and striking engraved designs, representing Iceland’s postwar emphasis on social health and community support.
