The stamp designs picture people from all walks of life performing different jobs, fighting for a better workplace, and more. These images were created by illustrator Owen Smith who said he was inspired by Great Depression-era murals that "depict the dignity of labor."
The International Labor Organization was formed in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I. The organization became a specialized agency of the United Nations in 1946.
