Sepac 2021: Historical Maps

8 June 2021

Post Greenland issued its contribution to the SEPAC (Small European Postal Administrations Cooperations) Joint Issue entitled "Historical Maps" created by illustrator and graphic artist Nuka K. Godtfredsen.

In his work designing the stamp, Godtfredsen was inspired by an historical map of Greenland with Gustav Holm's and G.C. Amdrup's shipping routes 1884-85 and 1900, as well as maps of the coast northeast of Tasiilaq according to the diagrams for Holm, Amdrup and Kruuse prepared by W. Thalbitzer.
