1961 Stjernebilleder : Serie FA

The Stjernebilleder Serie FA card series was released in 1961 by an unknown publisher. The 150-card collection was distributed in Denmark and Sweden. Stjernebilleder is a Danish word that means "star pictures." The series is sometimes miscataloged as a Dutch gum release. Each die-cut paper pack contains ten cards. Each card measures approximately 1.75 x 2.8 inches (44.5 x 71.5 mm). The back of each Serie FA card is blank.

Serie FA includes two colorized photographs of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. The card text contains a Danish translation that reads "Jurij Gagarin." On April 12, 1961, Gagarin became the first person to fly in space and orbit the Earth. Gagarin launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in modern-day Kazakhstan and completed one orbit aboard the Vostok 3KA spacecraft. The descent module of the spacecraft is displayed at the RKK Energiya museum in Korolyov, Russia.
