FERDÉN CENSUS OF SWEDISH MAIL UNTIL 1940

Ⅰ

STAFFAN FERDÉN Foreword

If Staffan Ferdén (b. 1974) is not known to you already, he will definitely be a name that you will remember when you have paged through this magnum opus. This tome contains a mountain of information in its four volumes of more than 1,700+ pages, 1,946 images, close to 40,000 listed items and 60,000+ auction results, etc. It is a definitive reference.

Swedish philately has not benefited from any significant publications in a long time. The key sources up until now have been limited to only a few major works: The 1963 Handbook in three volumes, published by the Swedish Philatelic ; Luftpostens Historia i Norden (1978) by Örjan Lüning; Swedish Letter Rates to Foreign Destinations (1986) by Billgren, Bjäringer and Stone; Number One (2005) by Bjäringer and Douglas. This work expands that short list.

Staffan committed to writing a four-volume book because Swedish philately had reached a point in its development where this type of comprehensive work had become critically necessary. Collectors of Sweden, as well as dealers, have longed for a book of this nature for a long time. Staffan’s magnum opus joins the ranks of the best in philatelic reference books, not just from Sweden but from around the world.

The four volumes cover all facets of Swedish postal history: inland mail; mail to destinations in and overseas as well as incoming mail from foreign destinations with postage due; and papers on specialized subjects. A great element of importance is found in the book’s comprehensive and detailed census on Swedish philatelic items up until 1940. This information has been sought after for many years among Swedish philatelists wanting to know a current census of Swedish philatelic items in addition to their market prices through time.

The precise title, FERDÉN – CENSUS OF SWEDISH MAIL UNTIL 1940, is simple enough but I can easily foresee that the hobby will simply refer to it as FERDÉN. F u r t h e r m o r e , I c a n n o t i m a g i n e t h a t a n y o n e w i l l b e a b l e t o i m p r o v e u p o n t h i s i n f o r m a t i o n i n m y l i f e t i m e . We will all be able to use this source in one way or another.

Staffan has been a stamp collector since the age of five. As a young collector, he won his first Grand Prix at Nordjunex 1994, with his traditional philately exhibit on the coil stamps of Sweden. His postal history exhibit on Swedish postal rates and fees during the early GPU/UPU period 1875–1907 won the national philatelic championship, The Silver Postiljon, in 2012. Staffan has continuously developed new exhibits on various subjects in Swedish postal history, and, being young, there is still much we can look forward to seeing from his philatelic passion and dedication.

This is Staffan’s life masterpiece, and its future utility is to be compared with theWestrogothic Law, the oldest Swedish text on provincial law that itself became the code of law, for successors. This book will also be a “code of law” for the recording of known philatelic items. This is a good base on which others will only be “updates.”

We all owe thanks to Staffan for being so generous, giving more than 10 years of his life preparing this work, and to have such generosity in sharing this information and sources with the rest of us.

Thanks to Staffan for releasing the work as part of STOCKHOLMIA 2019 – the international celebration of the 150th anniversary of The Royal Philatelic Society London. The RPSL is the global center for excellence in philately, and so, hosting this book’s release at that time is a appropriate convergence of excellence in the world of philately. in October 2018 Jonas Hällström RDP FRPSL
