Stamp of Windmills in the Netherlands

Stamp of Windmills in the Netherlands

Smock windmills on the polder landscape of the Netherlands. By the context, these are most likely polder mills for draining the surrounding polder. Sheep or cattle are grazing on land reclaimed from the sea. The stark simplicity of the stamp's design accurately depicts the landscape with the strong horizontal lines and the gray sky that is typical of the Netherlands.
