Summary/Abstract: This article explores the life and extensive, multifaceted creative work of Georgi Yakovlev Kirkov—a prominent educator and polymath, one of the eminent architects of modern Bulgaria. He actively contributed to the establishment and leadership of many of the country’s first modern administrative and scientific institutions. A key focus is placed on one of his most significant contributions: the design of Bulgaria’s first revenue stamps, postage stamps, postcards, banknotes, and coins. Based on collected archival materials, this study sheds light on the early history of postal services and telecommunications in Bulgaria in the years following the Liberation.
