    * Stamps are based on the works of the famous Latvian artist and illustrator of the children's book Albert Kronenberg, in honor of his 130th birthday.

    He illustrated about 130 books, including those written by him. The first children’s picture book by the well-known artist, Mazais ganiņš (The Little Shepherd), with the author’s text came out in 1931. Since then, the characters of A.Kronenbergs’ drawings and poems – Jurītis of Tuntuļi, the Five Cats and the Little Shepherd – have been together with several generations of Latvians.
