Sweden 1975 ballet

Sweden  1975  ballet


Among the many hundreds of Swedish stamps Slania has engraved, he singles out ‘Ballet’ as his favourite. This stamp features the principal dancer Per-Arthur Segerström and leading ballerina Anneli Alhanko in a scene from the ballet Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev.
Czeslaw Slania feels that he has managed to capture the light and ethereal beauty of the ballet in a pleasant way with his careful line engraving, which is based on a photographic original.  In his opinion the stamp has become just like the ballet itself.
