Issued by Rwanda in 1975 to commemorate International Women’s Year, this 30 centimes stamp features Gari Melchers’ evocative painting “Mère avec son Enfant” (Mother with Her Child). The design highlights themes of motherhood, dignity, and the vital role of women—central to the global observance that year. Printed in rich, painterly tones, the stamp offers excellent thematic appeal for collectors of art on stamps, women’s history, and UN-related commemorations. A beautifully engraved issue that reflects Rwanda’s strong 1970s art-themed philatelic program.
