EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare 3c Washington grilled single stamp, dating back to March 1870. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its historical significance. This unused stamp features a perforation of 12, making it even more collectible for philatelists and enthusiasts alike. The image itself transports us back to the 19th century in America, where communication was evolving rapidly. With its vibrant color and intricate engraving in green ink, this postage stamp symbolizes the country's commitment to education and progress during that era. A side view profile of General George Washington graces the center of the stamp, paying homage to one of America's most revered political figures. As we delve into our nation's heritage art through stamps like these, we are reminded of the important role mail played in connecting people across vast distances. Housed within the National Postal Museum at the Smithsonian Institution, this artifact serves as a testament to both our scientific advancements and rich postal history. Its presence on white wove paper with gum backing further emphasizes its authenticity and value. As we appreciate this extraordinary piece captured by an unknown artist, let us reflect on how postage stamps have not only served as practical tools but also as powerful symbols representing our great nation - the United States of America.
