EVERYMAN’S RIGHTS IN 100-YEAR-OLD FINLAND. Everyone in Finland can enjoy nature regardless of who owns
it. The Everyman’s rights stamps in the Finland 100 years series pay tribute to
this right. The booklet, containing six 1st class stamps, was designed by Jussi
Kaakinen. ”The photographs represent different seasons, the most common natural
environments and people from children to the elderly. They enjoy being in
nature and know how to behave there. As a first-time stamp designer, I was
fascinated by the simplification required by the small image size, but also by
the fact that even such a small space is enough to depict vast landscapes. The
landscapes on the Everyman’s rights stamps continue outside the actual stamp
area, and when separated from the sheet, the stamp may look surprisingly
different”, says Kaakinen.
Thank you Ella for a lovely FDC.
