Czeslaw Slania Master Engraver

Really glad to run across this thread today. I had always known about Slania's connection to Sweden's stamps, but was surprised when sorting through some Danish stamps last week and discovered that 60-70% of those had C.Z Slania attributions as well. The initial thread mentioned 29 countries that Slania did work for- anybody have a list of those?

Slania was involved with 1070 stamps.

Try googling that

I look for all the works engravers by Slania, stamps, banknote and cinderellas. It is one of my topics.

Beside doing stamps that were used in several countries, also some countries used same more of once.

It was an enterteining type, he itself was engraved in this stamp

The Youth of Agde (l'Éphèbe d'Agde) is a bronze statue discovered in 1964, on the bed of the river Herault on the south-eastern coast of France, by Denis Fanquerle and divers from the Agde Marine Archaeological Research Group. It is probably associated with an ancient Greek shipwreck.

I read through this very interesting thread this morning and did not notice that anyone had posted this souvenir. In 2000, Sweden issued this folder to commemorate the issuance of Slania's 1000th stamp design. The folder contains a copy of the 50Kr stamp on FDC along with the issued souvenir sheet and a copy of the design in Black and White before the colour process. I am not sure it can really be called a progressive proof but it is interesting.

This is added just for interest and I hope I am not duplicating anyone's previous post.

Great stamp by Slania, backroads, and thanks for sharing. There is a Polish stamp shows Slania holding this Swedish stamp.

Prince Louis II (1870 – 1949) was The Prince of Monaco from 1922 until 1949. His daughter was Princess Charlotte of Monaco, Duchess of Valentinois (Charlotte Louise Juliette Grimaldi de Monaco; 1898 – 1977). From 1922 until 1944, she was the Hereditary Princess of Monaco, heir presumptive to the throne.
