Stamp No. 1000 - souvenir folder
Beautiful souvenir folder with stamp, black print and fdc of the stamp no. 1000 issue.
On 10 August 2023, Posta Faroe Islands issues stamp No. 1000 at the Great American Stamp Show (GASS) 2023 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. This is truly a cause for celebration.
The renowned Faroese artist Edward Fuglø designed and illustrated the beautiful miniature sheet with a cairn motif in its center. Edward Fuglø has designed many Faroese stamps over the years, and he became our first choice for designing our stamp No. 1000.
The miniature sheet depicts a cairn in the outback on a summer evening. A summer atmosphere surrounds the cairn with seasonal plants, birds and animal life. Supernatural beings, fairies and water kelpies are also part of the picture. As mentioned below, a cairn can have different symbolic meanings – it can serve both as a signpost and a fixed point. Stamp No. 1000 can be seen as a memento of Posta’s numerous printings since 1975 when the first Faroese stamps were issued.
The stamp is a small culture bearer that reaches far beyond national frontiers, right into the remotest corners of the globe. On a small piece of paper, just a few centimetres across, it is possible to tell the history of many and sundry, and this has always been the aim with Faroese postage stamps.
The renowned Norwegian-Swedish artist and engraver Martin Mörck engraved the cairn and butterfly motifs which are printed in a combination of intaglio and offset. Furthermore, some special varnish effects have been added such as sand, soft-touch and neon orange.
