Catalogue information
Heide station will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2011 and is also the home port of S&W. Willy Vandersteen lived and worked from 1966 to 1990 in Kalmthout (Heide). His studio is still located there. The philatelic Cnatrum of NMBS-Holding does not want to let this unique opportunity pass by and issues a highway stamp depicting the cartoon heroes in Heide station. The stamp is inspired by the album "The speaking testament" from 1958. The presale, with the possibility of day cancellation, took place on Saturday 4 June 2011 at Heide station. Numbered stamps in an edition of 1250 copies were also offered, as well as a postcard. These were all presented in a matching envelope.
