Aland Stamps 40 Years

On 1 March 2024, 40 years have passed since the first Åland stamps saw the light of day. The anniversary is celebrated with the release of a playful miniature sheet on the theme borderless communication, where history and tradition meet future and innovation, mixed with images of Åland and postal elements.

Illustrator Tzenko Stoyanov describes the stamp issue: “I wanted to give the miniature sheet a timeless, fairy-tale feel through a slightly surreal story where the sea becomes space, the boats spaceships, and the birds letters. With the motif, I want to show that there are no limits to communication and that Åland, through the Post, extends a hand to send love and peace to the world and the universe”.
