He emigrated to the USA at the age of 18 and settled in Medford, Massachusetts. He studied art and, together with a group of students, he started the Boston Printmakers Association, which came to be a nationally well-known organisation. Ture Bengtz died in 1973. In 2007, Åland Post issued the stamp Emigration, the motif of which was a lithograph by Ture Bengtz. The miniature sheet as well as the stamp motif both show parts of the stained glass window in the church of Jomala depicting Saint Olaf. The stained glass window by Jomalaborn artist Ture Bengtz was unveiled in 1968 as a gift to the parish.
ÅLANDSPOSTEN FRIMÄRKEN • 25 Joint theme: church interior In August, Åland Post will be issuing a miniature sheet and a stamp featuring church interior. This is a joint issue with the Macau Post, which has interpreted the theme in its own way. On 30 August, two almost identical miniature sheets will be issued in two completely different parts of the world. The motifs of the two sheets will differ in one aspect only: the Åland issue will have the Åland stamp perforated on the sheet, whereas the Macau stamp will be perforated on the Macau issue. A WINDOW IN JOMALA Despite certain similarities between Åland and Macau, the culture and history differ entirely. The differences will be readily apparent when the two miniature sheets, both featuring a church window, are issued. Åland’s part of the miniature sheet (Church Interior I) shows a stained glass window from the church of Jomala, created by artist Ture Bengtz. YEAR SET AND STANDING SUBSCRIPTION ORDERS The Åland miniature sheet and stamp will both be included in the Year Set. If you subscribe to stamps or Year Sets from Åland, you will automatically receive both the miniature sheet and the stamp. PRESENTATION PACK WITH SPECIAL FDC At the time of going to press, neither the miniature sheet nor the stamp were ready for print. This is the reason why we illustrate this article with only the stained glass church window, which will appear on both issues. Still on the drawing-board is also a joint presentation pack holding both Macau’s and Åland’s miniature sheets as well as a joint FDC with the Åland stamp Church Interior II and the individual Macau stamp on the same theme. TWO FIRST DAY COVERS Åland will also be issuing a stamp (Church Interior II) featuring a different part of the same window. Two FDCs cancelled with the same first day of issue cancel will thus appear on the day of issue. READ MORE ON THE HOMEPAGE You will find more information on the progress of the cooperation and about the miniature sheet and stamp editions in the next magazine and on our homepage at www.posten.ax. ✹
