Henriette Toutenhoofd's poster stamp book was probably assembled around 1916. Highlighted in these pages are colorful stamps from Sheboygan County businesses. Poster stamps were particularly popular just before World War I, and were stamp-sized adhesive posters that served as advertisements for businesses.
