Chess Olympiad commemorative catalogue
The 9th Chess Olympiad – Nations Tournament of 1950 was held in Dubrovnik, Croatia in 1950 and the team of the hosting country – FPR Yugoslavia – won. This catalogue of the exhibition published by Dubrovnik Museums commemorates this special occasion in the history of chess.
The book features the whole story of the competition, the competitors, the ceremonies and the results. The highlight of this edition is the catalogue section of the postage stamps, first day covers, postcards, posters, chess sets – the Dubrovnik set later became a standard – and much more that were issued during and after the tournament.
As the English translator for the catalogue it was especially interesting to learn about the event and particularly about the philately part because I was an avid stamp collector as a schoolboy 🙂
The authors of the text are Tonko Marunčić and Zdenko Krištafor.

15 Years of the Croatian Museum of Tourism
To celebrate 15 years of the work of the Croatian Museum of Tourism in Opatija a small press conference and exhibition was held in the Grand Hotel 4 Opatijska Cvijeta on 23rd November 2022.
To commemorate the extensive work of the Museum over these 15 years a superb 212-page book was printed packed with information about every poster, catalogue, collection, exhibition, publication, project and much more that it has been involved in.
As the English translator I am honoured to have played a small part in the Museum’s story for the last few years.
Published by HRMT. Texts by the Museum’s director Mirjana Kos, graphic design by Branko Lenić. Translation by Martin Mayhew 🙂
