| The stamps were engraved by Martin Mörck after originals by Ingalill Axelsson, who also made the illustration on the first day cover. The stamps were printed by recess at the PFA. The FDC cancellation is by Jan Magnusson. | |
The stamps portray Nobel Laureates in Literature:
PÄR LAGERKVIST (1891–1974), a Swede and a 1951 Nobel Laureate, keeps returning to the philosophy of life in his literary style.
The American ERNEST HEMINGWAY (1899–1961), Nobel Laureate in 1954, was a master of style even in his early short stories.
ALBERT CAMUS (1913–1960), a Frenchman and a 1957 Nobel Laureate, has a philosophy connected with existentialism.
The Russian BORIS PASTERNAK (1890–1960), Nobel Laureate in 1958, is independent and cannot be placed in any group.
