On September 17, 2013 Itella Posti Oy
issued a 1st class stamp to celebrate
the 150th anniversary of the Finnish Parliament. Established in 1863,
regular parliamentary sessions played a central part in the development of the
Finnish nation state.
Designed by Timo Berry, the
simplified and dignified stamp depicts the words of the anniversary, describing
the importance of the Parliament, Lakia,
työtä, rauhaa, valoa (Law, work, peace, light), the last of
which refers to civilization and culture. In the background, the borders of
Finland are illuminated, detaching Finland from its past. The stamp also
depicts the emblem of the anniversary.
Thank you Ella for this nice FDC.
