| Introduction | Why are Swedish stamps issued after the classic era (after 1936) interesting? I think they are since in general stamps are a kind of mirrors of the time when they were issued. It is interesting to follow how series are issued and for how long they were used. And what they were used for. There are not as many special varieties compared with the classic era since the printing quality is much better, but there are some varieties tough. I think an interesting thing is to identify the policy used for the motifs of the stamps. The policies changed radically between the 30s and the 60s. The motifs become over time more artistic and the engravers are more skilled than before which turned many of the stamps into artistic masterpieces and they are still very beautiful. Also I'm interested in why they were issued, quantities and dates. Coils, booklets or sheets. I'm also puzzled about how colours are changed for the same denomination in the same series as well as why the same colour was used for different denominations. Finally I think Swedish stamps issued after 1936 are a little bit neglected - it is time to bring some light on them as well as honor the skilled engravers of the time. |
