EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a certified plate proof of the 65c "Graf Zeppelin" over Atlantic Ocean stamp from 1930. Produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, these plate proofs are the final printed proofs before mass production. Each unique plate proof bears approval signatures and dates, making them invaluable to postal scholars seeking production information. The plate margin inscriptions on this particular proof reveal important details such as guidelines, plate numbers, and initials of the siderographer who created the plate. With its striking green color scheme, this stamp depicts a zeppelin soaring majestically over the vast Atlantic Ocean. Dating back to the thirties in America, this piece represents an era when air transport was gaining prominence as a mode of communication and transportation. The intricate engraving work on this postage stamp exemplifies both artistic craftsmanship and technical precision. Preserved within National Postal Museum at Smithsonian Institution, this rare artifact offers insights into American history during that time period. Its significance lies not only in its monetary value but also in its educational potential for those interested in geography, finance, or scientific institutions. As a unique piece with historical importance, it serves as a reminder of how stamps were once meticulously produced through printing processes involving ink and paper sheets. This print is a testament to human ingenuity and serves as an enduring symbol of our fascination with airships like the Graf Zeppelin.
