Czesław Słania, born on 22 October 1921, was a Polish postage stamp and
banknote engraver, living in Sweden from 1956. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Słania was the most skilled and prolific of all
stamp engravers, with over 1000 stamps to his credit. His 1000th engraved
stamp, based on the 17th-century painting "Great Deeds by Swedish
Kings" by David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl (2000), is in the
Guinness Book as the largest engraved stamp ever issued.
