The 1933 Health stamp was intended to depict a winding path
leading through sand dunes to a beach as the sun broke through early
morning cloud - the 'Pathway to Health'. Unfortunately, the suns
rays were shortened and the etching process produced incomplete lines in
some positions on the plate which disrupted the intended cloud
pattern.
Around 261,000 of these stamps were sold.
