1984 Sweden Julpost (Christmas Mail) Bird Stamps Block
This item is a neat block of four mint-condition postage stamps issued by Sweden for the 1984 Christmas season (Julpost). Each stamp features a detailed ornithological illustration of a native bird species: a hawfinch (Stenknäck), a waxwing (Sidensvans), a great spotted woodpecker (Större hackspett), and a nuthatch (Nötväcka). The stamps are printed on high-quality white paper with clean perforations, displaying vibrant yet naturalistic coloring typical of Scandinavian philatelic design of the 1980s. Each individual stamp has a face value of 1.60 Swedish Krona (Sverige 1.60) and is labeled with the specific year '1984' and the text 'JULPOST'. The artwork is rendered in a realistic, scientific style with the Swedish and Latin names of each bird printed in small text. The block appears to be in 'Mint Never Hinged' (MNH) condition, with no visible centering issues, creases, or gum disturbances. There are no signs of postal cancellations or wear. The craftsmanship is excellent, featuring sharp offset printing that captures the fine detail of the feathers and the textures of the branches and bark upon which the birds are perched.
