EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare piece of history - the 15c Henry Clay proof plate block of four, dated February 22,1890. The top margin block features four exquisite 15-cent stamps with plate number 22 and is imperforate. The deep blue color of the stamps adds to their allure, making them truly stand out. The image takes us back to the United States in the late 19th century, a time when communication and education were rapidly evolving. These postage stamps served as an essential means of sending messages across the country, symbolizing both progress and national unity. The American Bank Note Company's impeccable craftsmanship is evident in this print, showcasing their expertise in producing high-quality stamps. Each stamp bears a profile portrait of Henry Clay, a renowned politician and statesman who played a significant role in shaping America's political landscape during that era. As we admire this aged artifact from our past, it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and the importance placed on philately - stamp collecting - as an educational pursuit. This photograph was taken at the National Postal Museum within the Smithsonian Institution, highlighting its significance as both an object of historical value and scientific institution. Let us appreciate this remarkable proof plate block for its intricate details and cultural significance within our nation's postal service history.
