I have received several remarks by mail that I should post more stamps. Yes, I have promised that I would post more stamps and I haven't done it yet much, I admit it.. so here we go! I really like 1930's Lithuanian stamp designs and this set is among my favorite. It is the first "Lietuvos Vaikas" (Lithuanian child) series (there are several other sets) issued in july 23rd 1932 for the benefit of Lithuanian orphans (Michel 316-323, Scott 256-263). They are both perforated and imperforated (the last picture of the bloc of 4) issue in all 8 stamps, the first 3 stamps 102,000 copies printed, 4th and 5th stamp 62,000 copies printed and the last 3 stamps 50.000 copies. There are 4 kinds of designs, Kaunas central railway station, Nenumas river, Kaunas central post office and the cathedral of Vilnius.
