Description
Denmark – 1996 Sports & Paralympic-Themed Stamps (Scott 1045–1048), Used
This dynamic four-stamp used set from Denmark, issued in 1996 and cataloged as Scott 1045–1048, celebrates athletic movement and inclusivity through modern, stylized sports illustration.
Designed with bold color blocks and simplified forms, the stamps depict a range of sporting activities with an emphasis on motion and accessibility:
-
Scott 1045 (3.75 kr) shows a wheelchair athlete in action, highlighting adaptive sports and athletic participation.
-
Scott 1046 (4.75 kr) features a swimmer captured mid-stroke, surrounded by rhythmic graphic elements suggesting speed and flow.
-
Scott 1047 (5.00 kr) depicts a kayaker navigating water, rendered with angular lines and energetic composition.
-
Scott 1048 (9.50 kr) illustrates a cyclist in motion, emphasizing balance, endurance, and forward movement.
All stamps are postally used, with visible cancellations that remain light enough to preserve the artwork. Colors are fresh, perforations are intact, and overall condition is clean and visually appealing for used examples.
A strong thematic group for collectors of Denmark, sports on stamps, Paralympic and inclusive design, or 1990s Scandinavian graphic issues.
