Amidst the turbulence of history, the call for peace resonates through time. From the Lennon Wall in Prague, where young voices echoed their hopes for harmony, to peaceful demonstrations where men and women united in the quest for understanding, the desire for peace has been a constant theme. The National Peace Poster Stamps, featuring student creations from the 1930s, bear testament to the power of art in expressing this universal longing. Annette Kolb's poignant portrait of a thoughtful woman, with the symbol of Venus, embodies the feminine essence of peace. Keir Hardie's impassioned speech at Trafalgar Square in 1914, captured in an artist's rendering, underscores the importance of peaceful protest. As we reflect on these moments in history, let us remember that the power to create peace lies within each of us.
