ENGRAVING OF THE DAY

1972
French Southern and Antarctic Territories
Bicentenary of Discovery of Crozet Islands and Kerguelen
Landing on Crozet Islands

Engraved by Pierre Béquet

BIOGRAPHY: Agnes Miski

Agnes Miski was one of three engravers trained at a unique project set up by the Swedish Post and the printers Tumba Bruk. In the late 1970s, an intensive training course was set up for eleven pupils, so as to create a pool of experienced and talented designers and engravers, who could work on the country’s future stamps and banknotes. In the end, Miski would only create banknote engravings for Sweden, and no stamps.
In fact, she only engraved a single stamp ever: for a 1993 issue of St Pierre et Miquelon, depicting the Prefect’s Residence.
More interestingly, she also engraved a number of stamp images for French philatelic documents. These were for stamp issues which were not printed in recess and for which, therefore, an engraved version had to be made for those documents. She created those for the 1995 Audubon Birds set and the 1997 Crime Novel Heroes set, plus two Red Cross Christmas stamps.
Miski has her own studio, works freelance and has engraved many a banknote for various c…

BIOGRAPHY: Trento Cionini

Trento Cionini was born in Urbania, Pesaro, Italy, on 23 April 1919. He went to the Arts Academy in Urbino where he studied wood cutting, and then he went to the Academy in Rome. He worked from 1940 to 1957 for the Government Printing Works in Italy, but during that time engraved only one stamp for his native Italy. It was also his first attempt at stamp engraving. In 1957 he went to work for the Bank of Italy.

While Cionini's engraving was initially heavily influenced by the Baiardi style, i.e. very fine and light lines, he would later experiment with a more contrast-rich style of engraving, which is especially obvious when comparing his banknote portraits.

BIOGRAPHY: Arne Wallhorn

"An engraved portrait should not be of a face, but of a person..."

In 1945, a young Arne Wallhorn (1921-1994) saw a tribute article in his daily newspaper on the famous Swedish stamp engraver Sven Ewert, marking his fiftieth birthday. In the article mention was made that Ewert was on the lookout for a pupil.
Wallhorn had been trained at the Technical School, and a subsequent stint at the Art Academy where he specialised in engraving. In 1943, he had found a job as a designer and metal engraver at Sporrong & Co in Stockholm. But after having read the Ewert article, Wallhorn immediately contacted the Swedish Post, was invited to show some examples of his work and duly got the position as apprentice to Ewert, which started in 1946.
Then things ground to a halt. During a period of some seven years, Wallhorn was taught all the intricacies of stamp engraving by Ewert, whose teaching method was as intricate as the work he produced. It was not until 1953 that Wallhorn was final…

BIOGRAPHY: Gunnar Nehls

Gunnar Nehls was one of three engravers trained at a unique project set up by the Swedish Post and the printers Tumba Bruk. In the late 1970s, an intensive training course was set up for eleven pupils, so as to create a pool of experienced and talented designers and engravers, who could work on the country’s future stamps and banknotes.

In the end, Nehls would only engrave a couple of stamps for Sweden, as late as 2005. Fittingly, one of those was a stamp marking the 250th anniversary of the Tumba Bruk printers, which forms a good link to Nehls’ banknote engravings, which are more plentiful. Among others, he engraved all the portraits on the current range of Swedish banknotes, six in total, introduced in 2015.
In 2000, Gunnar Nehls collaborated with fellow engraver Martin Möck on his book Porträttgravyr på sedlar och frimärken. Nehls wrote the chapter about portrait engraving on Swedish banknotes.

BIOGRAPHY: Toni Hanzon

Toni Hanzon was one of three engravers trained at a unique project set up by the Swedish Post and the printers Tumba Bruk. In the late 1970s, an intensive training course was set up for eleven pupils, so as to create a pool of experienced and talented designers and engravers, who could work on the country’s future stamps and banknotes.
In the end, Hanzon would only engrave a single stamp for Sweden, the 1983 Peace movement issue. She also engraved a test stamp depicting a pine cone in 1993.
Hanzon has since moved to the United States and is still working as an artist, though presently as a painter.
