Slania: Spain: Stamps

To date, the only Slania-related stamp issue from Spain is the March 20, 2003 "Nobel Prize in Medicine" joint issue with Sweden. The stamps of both countries were engraved by Slania and both were printed by Sweden Post. While the Swedish issue was only issued in coil form with alternating designs, the Spanish issue was only issued in sheet form. The Spanish sheet consists of 16 stamps with the designs alternating in both directions.

The following information is taken from the insert in the official Swedish (joint issue) first day cover.
Santiago Ramon y Cajal (1852-1934) was one of the foremost scientists in the field of histology, the study of the fine structure of tissues. He was professor of histology and pathology at the Universities of Barcelona and Madrid. He was an early laureate, receiving his prize in 1906 together with the Italian Camillo Golgi "as recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system".

Severo Ochoa (1905-1993) was a physician and biochemist. From 1940 he was professor of pharmacology and biochemistry in the United States. He shared his 1959 Nobel prize with the American Arthur Kornberg "for their discovery of the mechanism of the biological synthesis of ribonucleic and deoxyribonucleic acids".

All items are VF and fresh unless otherwise described.

203653

Spain Nobel Prize in Medicine 2003: NH VF complete numbered BLACKPRINT sheet officially issued by Spain. The sheet was distributed strictly one to a person and is extremely difficult to obtain. Only the engraved portion is of the design is printed; the marginal text is different than the normal stamp sheet. The blackprint sheet includes an engraved "Czeslaw Slania" signature. This is an important item for any Slania collection. With a lot of work, I have only been able to locate a few examples. I expect this item to become quite costly in time.

219009

Sweden: 2003 Nobel Prize in Medicine issue (Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Servero Ochoa). Sweden Scott #2460 set of two. Engraved, imperforate pair of the two stamps with only the engraved portion of the designs, in red. A joint issue with Spain. (Because both the Spanish and Swedish issues are the same design, this could be considered to be from either. However, the Spanish issue has its own blackprint sheet, also available from me.) This is an extremely popular thematic but this item is virtually unknown to almost all collectors who could be potentially interested. Slania engraved issue.
