QUOTE: The stamp scene showcases a woman in her living room, with her ear tuned into the radio. The radio is set to 2BL, the (renamed) first station to make an official public broadcast on 21 November 1923. The radio featured in the stamp design is an AWA Radiola, released in 1949 and known as “the Fridge”, due to its shape. Music Lovers’ Hour, referred to in the typography, was a popular program of the era.
