Beautiful Netherlands #1, 2 Jan 2019

Beginning in early January 2019 PostNL began issuing lighthouse stamps in the 2019 Beautiful Netherlands series. The first of these, issued on 2 January 2019, depicts Eierland Lighthouse at Texel. This lighthouse, dating from 1864, was originally located 3 km from the sea but in recent years has become endangered by beach erosion and is protected by a seawall.
