The Health stamps of 1949 marked the 21st issue of the
Health stamp series, it was therefore considered appropriate to link the design
with that of the first issue of 1929. Consequently, a nurse in uniform was
included in the stamp design as had been the case with the 1929 issue. To
emphasise the object of the campaign in improving the health of children, the
nurse in this instance was shown holding a happy child reaching out towards a
branch of apple blossom.
The
proceeds of the 'Health' value of these Health stamps were donated to the
Children's Health Camps movement.
