EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a 2c Post Rider and Horse G Grill single postage stamp from 1869. Created by the National Bank Note Company, this unused stamp features a stunning engraving on hard wove paper with a perforated edge. The image depicts a post rider on horseback, symbolizing the vital role of postal workers in delivering communication across America during the 19th century. The brown ink engraving stands out against a vibrant blue background, adding to its visual appeal. The close-up view allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry involved in creating this piece of American heritage. The capital lettering and embossed G grill add an extra touch of elegance to the design. As we admire this stamp, we are reminded of how postage stamps not only facilitated communication but also served as miniature works of art. This particular stamp is now part of the collection at the National Postal Museum, which preserves our nation's rich postal history. Through this photo print, we can glimpse into a bygone era when mail delivery was carried out on horseback and stamps were meticulously crafted pieces that reflected both practicality and beauty. It serves as a reminder of how far our communication systems have come while honoring those who played crucial roles in connecting people across vast distances.
