Sweden — Spain 2003 Nobel Prize Laureates

 

These are the only stamps that Czeslaw Slania has engraved for Spain.  The stamps feature the Nobel Prize Laureates, Dr. Severo Ochoa (1905-1993), who in 1959 was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine together with the American physicist, Dr. Arthur Kornberg, and Dr. Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934), who was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine together with the Italian physicist, Dr. Camillo Golgi, in 1906).  These stamps show clearly Slania's extraordinary skill in portrait engraving.
