Berlingske Tidende
According to Wikipedia:
Berlingske, previously known as Berlingske Tidende is a Danish national daily newspaper based in Copenhagen. It is considered a newspaper of record for Denmark. First published on 3 January 1749, Berlingske is Denmark's, as well as the Nordic region's, oldest continually operating newspaper and among the oldest newspapers in the world.
Between September, 1913 and March, 1914, Berlingske Tidende sponsored a series of poster stamp collecting competitions. The newspaper arranged for a series of five albums to be printed, with spaces in each for specific poster stamps to be affixed. The albums were numbered, each had a cover printed in a different color, and the first four albums each held 100 poster stamps, the fifth album held 200 stamps. The stamps were all curated by, and registered with, the newspaper, and it is presumed that they were all published by advertisers of the newspaper. Each stamp received a registration number and date, and the stamps were illustrated in the albums.
Sometimes stamps with the same designs were printed in different colors, and it appears that any one of the color choices were acceptible for inclusion.
When an album was completed, it was to be brought or mailed into the newspaper's offices, where it would receive a rubber stamp marking and returned to the owner. The owner would provide their name and address, and be entered into a drawing for a prize, which was one of 10 wristwatches.
Below are links to each of the five albums, which are fully illustrated, including printed interleaving pages.
