Esko Salminen


Now, this card was issued along with the set of six stamps on contemporary Finnish stage and cinema actors on 4.3.2013. This card has a stamp featuring Esko Salminen. He is a Finnish actor with notable shows on TV and especially on stage. His parents were actors, so were his wives and children. Salminen has been an actor of the Finnish National Theatre since 1961. The stamp depicts him in the role of Shakespeare’s King Lear. In front of the Theatre Building you can see the Ice-park, located in the heart of Helsinki, next to the Central Railway Station.

Thank you Ella for this lovely card.
