Dear customer,
Welcome to the Stamp Year 2010!
Our first issues of the year are already
out. A new stamp in our Norwegian
Art series, featuring Per Palle Storm’s
sculpture “Man drinking”, went on sale
on 2 January. Enzo Finger is the designer
responsible for this issue.
2 January also saw the issue of three
new stamps in our Wildlife series. Inger
Sandved Anfinsen has added the otter,
lemming and wolverine to Norway’s stamp
gallery.
Our next issue will be on 5 February, when
two stamps designed by Sverre Morken
go on sale. The first of these stamps
portrays historian and nation-builder
Peter Andreas Munch, while the subject
of the second
stamp is
composer
and violinist
Ole Bull.
Norway Post has increased the
price of stamp-franked mail with effect
from 1 January, thus setting the values of
this year’s stamp issues. You will find an
updated stamp programme below.
Yours sincerely,
Halvor Fasting
Director

The European otter (Lutra lutra) is
a predator belonging to the weasel
family (Mustelidae). The otter was
hunted for its valuable fur until 1970
and has been under total protection in
Norway since 1982. They feed mainly
on fish, but also eat crustaceans, birds
and small rodents. (Photo: Kjell-Erik

The wolverine (Gulo gulo) is the
largest member of the weasel family.
In appearance it resembles a small
bear. Wolverines make winter lairs in
snow drifts on steep mountainsides.
They produce two or three young,
usually in February or March.
Reindeer are the wolverine’s main
source of food in the winter. However,
wolverines are not particularly good
hunters and they also eat a great
deal of carrion. Birds, small and
medium-sized mammals and plants
also appear on their menu. Wolverines
cause damage when they begin to kill
domestic reindeer and sheep and are
responsible for the largest payments
of compensation in Norway for loss of
sheep and wild reindeer. (Photo: KjellErik Moseid/NN/Samfoto)

NK 1743
The lemming (Lemmus lemmus) is
a rodent belonging to the hamster
family (Cricetidae). It lives mostly in
mountainous areas where it feeds on
grass and moss. The lemming reaches
sexual maturity when it is about three
weeks old and the period of gestation
is three weeks. Litters number between
eight and ten young. A female can
give birth to three to five litters in
the course of one summer. There are
normally three or four years between
each peak year in the lemming
population. (Photo: Pål Hermansen/

NK 1745
Peter Andreas Munch (1810–1863) was Norway’s most prominent
historian in the 19th century. He collected documentation of
Norway’s history and his search for source material took him
far beyond Norway’s borders. He was also one of the first
non-Catholics to be given access to the archives of the Catholic
Church in the Vatican. The stamp features a portrait of P.A.
Munch. On the left of the portrait, there is a section from
Hirdskråen, which contained a code of conduct for the King of
Norway’s retinue.
NK 1746
Ole Bull (1810–1880) was a world-renowned Norwegian violinist.
He composed more than 70 works and spent much of his time
on tour abroad. The stamp shows a portrait of Ole Bull. On the
right of the portrait Ole Bull is shown in one of his characteristic
playing positions. The music for “Gruss aus der Ferne” can
be seen in the background.

NK 1746
Scarce Coppers (Lycaena virgaureae) prefer sheltered
flowery places surrounded by woodland, but can also
be found by the roadside. They are common in South
and East Norway, where their flight time is from May
to September.
Old World Swallowtails (Papilio machaon) live
mainly in coastal regions in the east and south of
Norway, but can occur as far north as Finnmark.
They are often found in moist, flowery meadows, in
marshland and along streams, rivers and lakes. This
species is declining and thus not commonly seen.
Its flight time is from May to July, but a rare second
brood can appear in August and September.
Common Blues (Polyommatus icarus) thrive in
relative dry environments. This butterfly can be found
along the roadside and in grassy, flowery meadows
as far north as West Finnmark. Its flight time is from
May to August.

The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is the
largest land predator in the world. Adult male
bears normally weigh 400–600 kg, but can
in some cases weigh as much as 800–1000
kg. Females are only half the size of males
(normally 200–300 kg). There are estimated
to be 22,000–25,000 polar bears in the world,
but this figure is not very reliable. In Norway,
there are polar bears on Svalbard and the
surrounding ice-covered sea areas. At the end
of the 1960s, the population of polar bears on
Svalbard was estimated to be around 1,000.
After hunting on Svalbard was stopped in
1973, the stock increased quickly and estimates
made in the first half of the 1980s show a figure
of about 2,000 bears in the Svalbard area. It is
assumed that the population has grown since
then.
