A collection of six vintage charity stamps from the 1930s and 1940s promoting support for disabled children. Each stamp features colorful illustrations and phrases like “Opportunity for Crippled Children,” “Open Wide the Door,” “Joyous Life,” and “Help Crippled Children.” The imagery includes silhouettes of children using crutches or wheelchairs, and bright symbolic elements like the sun, stars, and doors. The language and design reflect outdated terminology and attitudes toward disability from that era.
Today on the #Disability Daily #Podcast we celebrate the founding of #Easterseals in 1919.
