Denmark - Poster Stamp - Aarhus Exhibition 1909

Description: [zipedit] Denmark Event Publicity Poster Stamp The Danish National Exhibition of 1909 or The National Exhibition in Aarhus 1909 (Danish: Landsudstillingen i Aarhus) was an industry, crafts and culture exhibition held in Aarhus, Denmark in 1909 from 18 May to 3 October. The exhibition displayed some 1850 individual works by architects, artists, craftsmen and businesses and attracted 650,000 visitors. The project was a large undertaking for the city with long-lasting effects on cultural institutions and short-term economic problems. The exhibition fairgrounds was named The white City (Danish: Den Hvide By) based on the architectural expression chosen by the leading architect Anton Rosen. This is a small poster stamp, printed in sheets of 100, depicting one of the official Exhibition Posters by Valdemar Andersen. Valdemar Andersen studied at the Technical School in Copenhagen and began illustrating newspapers in 1902. He traveled to Munich and Switzerland in 1908, and in 1909 he designed the murals at the international Aarhus industrial exhibition, his first major commission, which led to his mural commission for the 1914 Malmö-Baltic Exhibition and the 1915 commission for the murals in the Danish pavilion at the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition in San Francisco. He designed murals for many private homes, restaurants and business offices, including those of the newspaper Politiken. He is the first great Danish poster artist, and is the father of the 20th century Danish poster. He was awarded prizes at various exhibitions, including the 1925 Paris International exhibition. His son lb Andersen was also a poster designer. (Information from the booklet: "Danish Posters 1910-1940" by Victoria Dailey & Steve Turner, 1988.)

Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices. I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such). Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs. A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum: Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described. * A Note about "Stock Images": Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words: "STOCK IMAGE" at the end of the description.
