Slania went back to his roots for these two sheets from the 1966 'Polphilex' Exhibition in London. They celebrate 1,000 years of Christianity in Poland.
(The sheets are scarce too !)
Back in Sweden, these Test Stamps, which were also produced Multicoloured and were later modified and issued for Swedish Post.
Love them all, can't choose. Sorry !

The stamp of Princess Grace is my favourite. The stamp of Sir Winston Churchill is based upon the photograph by Karsh of Ottawa, after speaking to Canada's Parliament.

The story is that Karsh got the scowl out of Churchill by snatching the cigar from his mouth and clicking the shutter at the same time.

Here's footage of Slania attending an exhibition of his work. He's giving remarks but it's in Polish. They talk for a while about the "Princess of Monaco" engraving. Jansimon, can you tell what ese is going on here?

You really overestimate me. I have to go to Poland for work pretty often, but not that much that I have managed to learn the language in half a year :-)
Polish is really difficult, at least for us speaking a Germanic language and fortunately the people I need to work with over there all speak English and/or German, which makes life a lot easier.
Apart from Dzien Dobry (good morning or good day) and dziekuje bardzo (thank you very much), I am not able to say much in Polish, let alone understand what is said. I cannot even write those few words properly, because when I try to include the e with a little 5 dangling at the bottom, the system crashes.
(correction, it is not really a 5, more like a hook like the e is waiting for a fish)
The film is funny in a way. It is from 1994, Poland had just cast off the communist chains but all the people still look like it is 1975. When you visit Poland these days, the people look and dress much better.

Hey, I gave it a shot! Haha You seemed like the obvious choice. At least you can say good morning.

And I know essential words like bread, beer and "poor connection" (the latter because of all the teams meetings 
)

I tried to edit the title of my post to read: "Post your favorite stamp(s) of Legendary..." but couldn't figure out how to do it It's not easy to pick just one "favorite" with this guy; Slania's got a deep catalog. Here's an Elvis work that looks like it falls into the category "just because I wanted to"...
