In 1946 the first stamp portraying Alfred Nobel was released. After that a few set of stamps have commemorated institutions and buildings associated with the Nobel Prize. It was not until fifteen years later, however, that Sweden Post Stamps decided to commemorate Nobel Laureates in a yearly edition of stamps. In 1961 the Nobel annual series was established.
This site gives you the opportunity to look at all the Nobel stamps since 1961. It also shows the so-called First Day Cover, a letter provided with stamps and a specially designed cancellation for the day of issue.
We are grateful to Sweden Post Stamps, who kindly let us publish their material.
