NEW STAMPS 2015
New stamps
This stamp program leading up to 2015 will vary widely. The Norwegian Red Cross is celebrating its 150th anniversary and Norway Post is issuing four stamps to mark the occasion. Anders Beer Wilse was a pioneer in photography. His pictures continue to be a great testimony to the early years of Norway as an independent nation. The 150th anniversary of his birth will be celebrated in 2015 in part with the issue of three stamps and one miniature sheet. Viggo Ree's beautiful watercolour paintings form the basis for a new series of definitive stamps that will be issued in both January and October.

EDITORIAL
Dear Customer, The Christmas stamps that are issued every year bring the feeling of Christmas into thousands of homes. For many people, it is not Christmas until the Sølvguttene Boys' Choir sings in Christmas on Christmas Eve. This year the choir will spread Christmas joy throughout the entire month of December via Christmas cards. More than 40 years have passed since Per Asplin wrote the play about Putti Plutti Pott and Santa's beard. The play will be performed in a number of cities before Christmas, and more than 6,000 children have been involved in the play since its start. The two Christmas stamps were designed by Magnus Rakeng.
The year's final stamp issue is a miniature sheet for the Nordia 2014 stamp exhibition. The miniature sheet depicts two of the stamps from the anniversary of the Norwegian Constitution in May printed with the text «Nordia 2014». Enzo Finger and Sverre Morken designed the minisheet. We wish all of Stamp Magazine's readers a fantastic start to the Christmas season!
Kind regards,
Halvor Fasting
