Description
This series of poster stamps was issued by the Società Dante Alighieri, probably in the 1910s. The stamps depict a woman reading a book to a group of children, a father and son, and mother with baby. Behind the group is a bust of Dante, a book, and tree branches. The background shows the sun rising over the globe with the "boot" of Italy and Sicily visible to the right. Below the vignette is "SOCIETÀ NAZIONALE / DANTE ALIGHIERI". Examples are known in blue and green.
