General Orphans Home for Girls Charity Stamp (Jerusalem, Israel)

This item is a vintage charity stamp or label, distinctly perforated on all four edges, suggesting it was once part of a larger sheet. The overall color scheme is light green and blue, printed on off-white paper that shows signs of aging and discoloration, likely shifting from its original bright white. The central feature is a monochrome blue portrait of a young woman, possibly a girl, with dark hair and a smiling expression, framed within an ornate oval border. Above this portrait, a green banner elegantly curves with the text 'GENERAL ORPHANS HOME FOR GIRLS', with the word 'ISRAEL' split and positioned on either side of the banner, indicating a specific location or organizational affiliation. Below the portrait, another green banner, decorated with scroll-like elements on either end, bears the text 'JERUSALEM ISRAEL'. The design style suggests an older vintage, possibly mid-20th century, given its aesthetic and the printing quality. The perforations appear machine-cut and relatively even, though some edges show slight wear. The paper exhibits a soft, somewhat fibrous texture. There are no obvious tears or major creases, but the discoloration and slight unevenness in the paper's surface indicate age and handling. This is not a postage stamp but rather a cinderalla stamp or charity label issued to raise funds or awareness for the 'General Orphans Home for Girls' located in Jerusalem, Israel. The craftsmanship indicates mass production suitable for such charitable issues, with clear printing and distinct detailing within the banners and frame.
