Tercentenary of the birth of Michiel Adrianzoon de Ruyter

[aukepalmhof]

For the tercentenary of the birth of the Dutch Admiral Michiel Adrianzoon de Ruyter the Dutch post issued in 1907 three stamps, which shows us on the left a portrait of de Ruyter, designed after a painting, I believe made by Ferdinand Bol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Bol

On the right is depicted a sea-battle which according to Dutch sources not has been identified which battle it is, it is believed that it is composed of different sea battles in which he took place, de Ruyter took part in 23 sea-battles and actions. More info on the Ruyter is given on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michiel_de_Ruyter

When the sale of the stamps was not so successful, the rest of the stamps were used for 13 postage due stamps with the overprint ‘portzegels’ in the value of ½c - 1 Guilder.
