Bull on Postage Stamp
A postage stamp featuring Ole Bull will be issued on Bull’s birthday, 5 February 2010, in combination with a stamp featuring P.A. Munch.
This year marks the 200th birthday of both Ole Bull and P.A. Munch.
In commemoration of Ole Bull’s 200th birthday, Norway Post will issue stamps featuring Bull’s portrait. On the roll of stamps the violin virtuoso will share space with Peter Andreas Munch (1810-1863), whose 200th birthday is also being celebrated in 2010.
P.A. Munch was Norway’s foremost 19th century historian; he laid the groundwork for modern Norwegian historical research. Ole Bull was a world-famous violinist and one of the first Norwegian musicians to travel the world in modern times. The two men will be portrayed, one after the other, on rolls of 100 stamps. Cost: NOK 8.50 per stamp.
The two stamps are designed by Sverre Morken.
