Description

Denmark
Event Publicity Poster Stamp
Poster Stamp publicizing an Artists' Carnival held at the Odd-Fellows Hall in København. Thor Bøgelund was one of Denmark's leading graphic artists.
According to
"Danish Posters 1910-1940"
by Victoria Dailey & Steve Turner:
"Bøgelund worked in many styles and is perhaps the most versatile and prolific of Danish poster artists. His diverse talents and long career certainly make him one of the most interesting of Danish artists; he designed posters for Tivoli for nearly 50 years, from 1911 until 1958. He began his studies at the Technical School and studied at the Academy from 1909 until 1913. He travelled to Germany, Italy and Scotland in 1910, and to Germany, Switzerland and Italy in 1912, 1914 and 1921. He exhibited throughout Europe in the twenties and thirties (Paris, Cologne, Barcelona, Munich, Brussels), and not only did he show his own works, he helped design the Danish sections at various international exhibitions. He taught at the Technical School and the School of Arts & Crafts, and was co-founder of the Drawing Association in 1919. He was himself somewhat of a dandy, loving to dress up, and used himself as a model in his posters, as in KunstnerKarneval, 1913."
This stamp reproduces the design of a poster Bøgelund produced for the Carnival. About the design of this poster, Dailey & Turner wrote:
"One of Bøgelund's earliest posters, it advertises an artists' carnival with an underwater theme. Participants dressed as crabs, jellyfish and other sea creatures, and the decorations which matched the oceanic theme were widely praised."
This stamp was printed se-tenant with another one for the same event (by a different artist) in sheets of 20, and is known both perforated and imperforate. It was printed by the firm Andreasen & Lachmann, and is their Samlermærker number 38.

After 35+ years I decided to retire from being an active Cinderella Stamp dealer. Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices. I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such).
Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs.
A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum:
Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described.
A Note about "Stock Images":
Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words:
"STOCK IMAGE"
at the end of the description.
