Dear Customer,
During the spring I received letters from several of
you suggesting activities for the Customer Club.
Some of the suggestions are dependent on a
geographical location, so I need to think about
these ideas a bit more since you all are spread
throughout the country and the world.
There was one suggestion I liked right away. It is
easy to implement and all of our members can
participate: a trivia game with attractive prize.
Since Ingrid Berman and Swedish film history are
topics found in this issue of Bulletin, I have put
together some questions about Swedish movies
and Swedish movie stars that have been depicted
on stamps. The answers to two of the questions
can be found in this issue of Bulletin.
The first letter opened with the correct
answers will win a unique Space Letter, which is
numbered and has a special cancellation. The
Space Letter also comes with a Certificate of
Authenticity, which proves that it travelled by
research balloon around the Arctic
Circle. Only 249 copies of the letter
were made.
Write your answers on a postcard together with
your name and address, add a stamp and send to
PostNord Stamps, Customer Club, 164 88 Kista.
Write “Movie trivia” on the postcard. Answers must
have been received no later than October 1, 2015.
The winners will be announced by mail, and the
names will be published in an upcoming number
of Bulletin.
Sincerely,
Anders Kind
Club Host
Movie Trivia – questions

Oscar?

3)What was Greta Garbo’s last name growing

Ingrid Bergman (1915–1982) was one of the brightest stars
of the international film world. She won three Oscars, two
of which for Best Actress in Gaslight and Anastasia.
Her career started in Sweden and peaked in ­Hollywood,
and the American Film Institute ranks her as the
fourth largest star of all time in American movies.
PostNord and the US Postal Service celebrated
this achievement in the ­cooperation that r­ esulted
in the current stamps, Ingrid Bergman 100 Years.

says designer
Stina Wirsén.
She decided to depict Ingrid Bergman
around the age of 30–35, which would have
been the middle of her career after classics
such as Casablanca, For Whom the Bells Toll
and Gaslight.
Stina Wirsén made quite a few sketches
using her constant companion, her black
fountain pen, as well as watercolors. She used
intaglio printing paper, the surface of which is
perfect for her work.
“The best sketch, quite simply, became the
original for the stamp,” she says.
Laszlo Willinger
Ingrid Bergman took home three Oscars,
although none of them were for what might be
her most famous role, Ilsa Lund in Casablanca
from 1942. She starred in this movie with
another legend of American cinema, Humphrey
Bogart, who played the role of nightclub owner
Rick Blaine.
The proof for the second Swedish stamp –
and for the stamp that was issued by the US
Postal Service – is a still taken during the 1940’s.
The photographer was Laszlo Willinger, who
is known for his portrait photographs of movie
stars and other celebrities during the 1930s and
1940s. Willinger was born in Hungary and
worked as a photographer in Paris, Berlin and
Wien. He eventually moved to Hollywood,
where his portraits were often found on the
covers of the celebrity press.

Mushrooms are synonymous with
fall. It stands to reason, then, that
the third issue of Swedish mushroom stamps has been planned for
the fall. The two previous issues were
­issued in October 1978 and August
1996,and the c­ urrent mushroom stamps will be ­issued on August
20. The denomination is ­Domestic letters and greetings – fall’s
­wonderful greetings.
Five proofs from the illustrated
works of “the Linné of mushrooms”
The efforts by Elias Fries
(1794–1878) to catalogue
mushrooms are considered
an important part of the
development of modern
mycology, the study of
mushrooms. He is
therefore sometimes
Elias Fries. Painting by
referred to as “the Linné
Johan Gustaf Sandberg,
of mushrooms”.
1830's.
In the 1800s, Fries
catalogued and illustrated our most common
mushrooms. His pictures of mushrooms are an art
history treasure and several of them are found in
the illustrated work, Sweden’s Edible and
Poisonous Mushrooms, which was published in
1860–1866. His illustrations laid the foundation
for what we know today about mushrooms.
“The proofs for five of the seven current stamps,
weeping milk cap, porcini, changle, scarlet waxy
cap and funnel chanterelle, were taken from his
illustrated works. All of them are edible,” says Mats
Granlöf, the stamp project manager at PostNord
Stamps.
During the mid-1800s, people living in Sweden
were skeptical about eating mushrooms, but after
several years of poor harvests and famine, as well
as the enthusiasm of Fries, people’s perception
changed.
“He was also known to be a person who lived
simply, which might also be one of the reasons his
‘mushroom propaganda’ was so well received by
the general public,” says Mats Granlöf.
Elias Fries studied botany at Lund University
and became a professor in 1824. Ten years later he
left Lund for Uppsala and became the director of
the botanical garden and museum there. He was
elected into the Royal Swedish Academy of
Sciences in 1821 and became a member of the
Swedish Academy in 1847.
Despite a brilliant career and academic titles,
“the Linné of mushrooms” was often questioned as
an expert. He writes himself in the introduction to
his illustrated works, Sweden’s Edible and
Poisonous Mushrooms,
“While staying a few fall seasons in Stockholm, I
often inspected the species that were sold at
Munkbron. Many of them were the harmless
varieties, but I also found entire baskets of
poisonous ones, for example Russula foetens; but
when I informed them about this I was told, ‘Oh,
the Gentleman does not know what he is talking
about’.”
Russula foetens is the Latin name for the
stinking russula, a mushroom that was not
included in the discussions about which mushrooms to depict on the stamps.

On May 7, the World Wildlife Fund’s famous
­panda logo premiered on Swedish and Danish
stamps. The first time the logo was used on a
stamp was in 1983 when Uganda and other
countries issued a series featuring the
­endangered African elephant. Since then
­approximately 220 countries have issued stamps
with the WWF logo.
p h oto : t h o r st e n s a n d b e rg
Swedish and Danish charity stamps new
addition to a large WWF collection
Thirty years ago
Torbjörn Larm linked
his interest in nature
and the environment
with stamp collecting
in a more systematic
way.
Many of the stamps in
Torbjörn Larm’s album
depict endangered
animals. The foreword
to his special album
sheets is written by
Carl XVI Gustaf.
Torbjörn Larm’s interest in stamps began with
the letters and postcards his father, who was in
the Navy, sent from ports and cities in far away
countries. In particular, Torbjörn remembers
the postcards and stamps from Japan.
“I grew up in Karlskrona close to boats and
the ocean, so it was natural that my first
specialty area was sailing ships. After I joined
the scouts and began spending a lot of time
outdoors and in the forest I became interested
in nature and the environment,” he says.
Torbjörn Larm followed in his father’s
footsteps and trained to become a naval officer.
A long voyage with the training ship, Älvs­
nabben, also presented fantastic opportunities
for coming into contact with animals and
nature in foreign countries.
“Once back in Sweden I joined the Swedish
Society for Nature Conservation, and it was at
one of their events that I first saw the stamps of
the endangered species. These stamps had
been issued in cooperation with WWF and
depicted the organization’s logo, the panda.”
Torbjörn Larm researched the stamps and
discovered that it was possible to subscribe to
the WWF stamps, and the stamps were
presented on an attractive album sheet with
interesting facts about the depicted animals.
The first stamps in the album depict the African
elephant in a series issued in 1983 by the postal
services in Uganda.
“The elephant was endangered at the time,
and unfortunately it is just as endangered
today because of poaching. The WWF stamps,
which have been issued over a thirty-year
period, are an important reminder about our
shared responsibility for nature and the
environment,” says Torbjörn Larm.

2015 EUROPA Stamp Competition –
vote for Sweden’s contribution
The polls for the most popular EUROPA stamp for 2015 are now
open. The vote is arranged by Posteurop, and you will find the
“polling booth” here, www.posteurop.org/europa2015. Vote
for Sweden’s contribution and help more people in Europe
discover our stamps. Voting runs until August 31, 2015.
Reserve October 30 –
­November 1, 2015, for the
biggest stamp event of the
year in Sweden, the Nordia
2015 exhibition in Täby just
north of Stockholm. Nordia is
an exhibition that the Nordic philatelic
associations take turns arranging in their
home countries.
PostNord will have a stand at Nordia 2015
where it is possible to buy the current Swedish
and Danish stamps and stamp products.
“I can promise that we will have a number of
special offers during Nordia, and I can even
give you a hint and say that we are selling a
number of letters that flew with a research
balloon around the Arctic Circle. Very exciting
objects that I believe will be interesting for
both specialists in air mail and other collectors,” says PostNord’s Head of Stamps,
Britt-Inger Hahne.
Mats Söderberg is chairman of the
exhibition committee for Nordia 2015. He is
hoping that the large selection of collections
– from classic to modern Open – and activities
as well as the retailers, competitions and
auctions will attract many visitors during the
three days of the exhibition.
