Latvijas Pasts, Latvia's postal service, will issue a special stamp and a first-day cover to mark the 150th anniversary of the artist Teodors Zaļkalns. The new philatelic issue, meaning a release intended for stamp collectors, will be available from 16 October.
Zaļkalns is an eminent Latvian artist who is described as the founder of Latvian sculpture. The stamp and the envelope are dedicated to his anniversary.
What will be released
The issue consists of two items: a new stamp and a first-day cover. A first-day cover is a philatelic item released together with the stamp itself.
Both will be available from 16 October. The source gives no further details, such as the stamp's face value, print run or design.
