Stamp Requests

There must be a lot of people admiring Rainer Maria Rilke's poems. A stamp based on him will be nice :)

On February 1, 1930, one of the most recognized singer-songwriters in Argentina was born. From children's books and songs ("Manuelita la tortuga") to adult songs with beautiful meanings ("Como la cigarra"), Maria Elena Walsh makes her way to fame throughout Argentina and more.

A set with everyone's favourite characters from everyone's favourite book . Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly Alice in Wonderland ) is an 1865 English novel by Lewis Carroll. Here are just a few facts about it: One of the best-known works of Victorian literature, its narrative, structure, characters and imagery have had huge influence on popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. The book has never been out of print and has been translated into 174 languages. Its legacy covers adaptations for screen, radio, art, ballet, opera, musicals, theme parks, board games and video games Luckily for us, both books, Alice in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking Glass are in the public domain and can be used for Slowly stamps. Important #1 : I do not take credit for this idea, as it originally belongs to Савва Р. and was first suggested here . This request is in English with a couple of pictures for your viewing pleasure - hopefully it can get some support. Important #2 : I am suggesting this as a global set, since the book is a true classic loved all around the world. However, if someone feels that this should be a UK-only set, feel free to drop a comment. On the left you will see Sir John Tenniel’s Classic Illustrations and on the right, stamp mock-ups based on the Soviet animation film, which you can watch with English subtitles here . List of characters with individual links. Alice holding the potion that says "Drink Me" The White Rabbit The Cheshire Cat The Caterpillar The Hatter The Queen of Hearts

These stories are known and loved by millions of people all around the world. They would make an amazing set with each of the stamps telling their own story: 1) Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp Luckily for us, Disney doesn't own this tale. Stamp with the Jinn (Genie) would be perfect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin 2) Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Baba_and_the_Forty_Thieves I guess everyone knows the plot, so I was thinking something with the treasures and the cave, but there other options as well 3) Sinbad the Sailor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinbad_the_Sailor There are many ideas and many creatures/monsters here, because Sinbad traveled near and far. I was thinking about something with the giant bird, but there's a lot to choose from. 4) Scheherazade The main storyteller, who outsmarted the murderous sultan and stayed alive by telling him stories every night withouth finishing them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheherazade 5) Prince Ahmad and the Fairy Peri-Banu https://arabiannights.fandom.com/wiki/The_Story_of_Prince_Ahmed_and_the_Fairy_Paribanou https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peri Peri can be decribed as a female jinn. Integral to the Persian mythology, and also present in the tales from 1001 nights. I think another stamp with a female character is needed, and this one would be perfect. 6) Magic Carpet Not exclusive to Arabian Nights, but it's hard to imagine the set without it. Within the same tale, Prince Hussain, the eldest son of the Sultan of the Indies, travels to Bisnagar (Vijayanagara) in India and buys a magic teleporting tapestry, also known as a magic carpet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_carpet

"Det var en gang..." A set of stamps showing some of the characters from norwegian folktales would be great, in Germany they've got the Grimms brothers, here in Norway we have Asbjørnsen og Moe, that travelled around the country in the 1830s collecting stories from towns and villages. We have "Espen Askeladden", the norwgian trolls, Huldra, Nøkken, Fossekallen and many more creatures and characters that would look great on a stamp.

A picture of a bottle floating on a moonlit tide with a note inside because that’s the first image that came into my mind after I joined: of a message in a bottle, bobbing on rippling waves and blown by gentle winds to an unknown shore. Perhaps in a far-off land. Perhaps somewhere closer. But exciting either way!

This year, Poland and whole world is celebrating polish writer's - Stanislaw Lem's - 100th birthday. "Lem's books have been translated into over 50 languages and have sold over 45 million copies. Worldwide, he is best known as the author of the 1961 novel Solaris, which has been made into a feature film three times. In 1976 Theodore Sturgeon wrote that Lem was the most widely read science fiction writer in the world. Lem's science fiction works explore philosophical themes through speculations on technology, the nature of intelligence, the impossibility of communication with and understanding of alien intelligence, despair about human limitations, and humanity's place in the Universe. The Polish Parliament declared 2021 Stanisław Lem Year."
