Sweden’s Lill-Babs is the uncrowned queen of the people’s parks. The idea behind the Swedish people’s parks was to give the emerging workers’ movement an arena for political meetings as well as to provide regular people with a good alternative for entertainment and recreation. Later, the entertainment aspect took over and the dance floors, which are a classic today, became more common. Most big names have performed at the people’s parks, and one of the most popular artists was Barbro Svensson, Lill-Babs.

With the addition of the three stamps in the Equestrian Sports booklet, Lars Sjööblom has engraved close to 20 stamps depicting horses. His debut horse stamp was issued in 1987, Ehrenstrahl’s 17th century painting of King Karl XI’s magnificent horse, Blå Tigern (Blue Tiger).

Lars Sjööblom used to draw the lines for his engravings with a pen by placing a piece of transparent paper over the proof. Since the fall of 2010 he has been able to prepare for his engraving on the computer using an electronic sketch pad and PhotoShop software. The first stamp using the new technology was Erik XIV’s extremely detailed parade armor.  (read more)
