EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history - the 50c Recall of Columbus single stamp from 1893. Created by the American Bank Note Company, this mint stamp features a design taken from A. G. Heaton's painting titled "Recall of Columbus". The stamp was printed in sheets of 100 and then cut into panes of 50 for distribution. Although most of these stamps have been separated over time, there are still a few intact sheets of 100 and panes of 50 that exist today. A total quantity issued amounted to an impressive number - 243,750. The image showcases the intricate engraving work done by Augustus Goodyear Heaton, depicting Christopher Columbus on horseback gesturing towards an uncharted continent. This historic expedition is symbolized through this beautifully engraved artwork. As we observe this aged photo print, it takes us back to the fifteenth century when explorers like Columbus navigated unknown waters in search for new lands. It serves as a reminder not only of our colonial past but also highlights the importance of education and communication during that era. Preserved at the National Postal Museum, this stamp represents more than just money or philately; it represents our heritage and cultural significance. Let us appreciate this remarkable piece created by the American Bank Note Company as we delve into history through its ink slate blue engraving and captivating lettering.
