Issued in 2001, Denmark Scott #1172 is a commemorative stamp celebrating the history of Copenhagen’s telephone service, featuring a stylish 1914 advertising poster for Kjøbenhavns Telefon A/S. The design pays tribute to Denmark’s early embrace of modern communication technology and the graphic elegance of the Edwardian era.
The stamp reproduces a vintage illustration of a fashionable woman seated beside a telephone, wearing a flowing pink dress and framed by Art Nouveau-influenced typography. The image blends glamour with technology, reflecting how the telephone was marketed as both a modern convenience and a symbol of sophistication in the early 1900s.
With a denomination of 5.75 kroner, this stamp was intended for standard letter rates, making it widely used while still offering a strong visual presence.
This example is offered used, showing a clear cancellation with intact perforations and rich remaining color. A charming collectible for fans of advertising art, women in history, and Scandinavian design on stamps.
