EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the 90c Washington re-issue single stamp from 1875, created by the esteemed National Bank Note Company. The stamp is a remarkable piece of American history, unused and perfectly perforated with a delicate perf 11 design. In an effort to display samples of all previously issued stamps at the upcoming Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, officials from the Post Office Department commissioned this special printing. As a result, extra copies were produced for sale to avid stamp collectors. The image captures the essence of America's rich heritage during the 19th century. The deep blue color and intricate engraving highlight George Washington, one of our nation's founding fathers and military leaders. His portrait exudes strength and determination as he gazes away into the distance. This close-up shot allows us to appreciate every detail on this old-fashioned masterpiece - from the finely crafted lettering to the ink-blue engraving on hard white paper. It serves as a reminder of how communication has evolved over time, symbolizing both education and political significance. Displayed proudly at the National Postal Museum today, this postage stamp represents more than just its face value; it embodies our country's values and achievements throughout history. Let this stunning artwork transport you back in time as you marvel at its beauty and significance within American philately.
