image: Florence Nightingale 1820-1910 The Foundation of Honor for Former Nurses used the proceeds of these stamps to fill a fund for former nurses in difficult financial circumstances. Part of the proceeds from the summer stamps (at least in 1954 and 1955) also went to this fund. These stamps cost 1 guilder each (Medisch Contact, Volume 10, Number 38, September 22, 1955) and were sometimes given away by manufacturers (e.g. Zwitsal) with products (Dagblad de Stem, June 30, 1956, third page, page 5).
