2025Poes Molly - Miniature Sheet

The cat Molly is the main character in columns and books by illustrator Francien van Westering. Van Westering conceived and drew Molly when she was still a child. It was only later, when she had long established herself as the cat artist of the Netherlands, that she brought Molly back to life. She did this, among other things, through columns in the women's magazine Margriet and children's magazine Bobo Magazine and in the books she wrote and drew about Molly. Molly experiences small adventures in the countryside, loves nature, is dressed in flowing dresses and always wears a hat with a flower wreath. The stamp sheet and stamps Cat Molly 2025 feature various illustrations by Francien van Westering about the cat Molly and her friends. The edge of the sheet is taken up by a large drawing of Molly in front of a caravan in the forest. A section of this illustration appears on one of the stamps. The other 4 stamps show drawings of the cat Jan with a bunch of balloons, the cat Floris in the tree house, Molly walking with the cat Casper and Molly dressed in a wide skirt surrounded by hearts. Of the 5 illustrations on the stamps, 2 fill the image area and 3 are free-standing. On the 3 stamps with the free-standing illustrations, flowers have been placed in the white background. The Molly logo is on all stamps and at the top left of the sheet edge.
