EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 90c Washington reprint single, created in 1875 by the esteemed Continental Bank Note Company. This particular stamp holds great historical significance as it was specially printed for the Post Office Department's exhibition at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The decision to exhibit samples of previously issued stamps was a momentous one, and extra copies were ordered for sale to avid stamp collectors. The deep blue engraving on this stamp is truly remarkable, capturing every intricate detail with precision and artistry. In this close-up shot, we see General George Washington himself gracing the face of the stamp. Dressed in his military uniform and looking away with determination, he embodies strength and leadership that defined America's founding father. The rich blue color adds an air of elegance to this piece of postal history. The perforated edges serve as a reminder of its authenticity and value among philatelists worldwide. Displayed against a plain background, this portrait exudes both power and grace. It serves as a testament to our nation's political heritage while also representing communication through postage stamps – an essential aspect of our country's postal service. Preserved meticulously by the National Postal Museum, this stunning print allows us to delve into America's past while appreciating the craftsmanship behind such iconic pieces from the 19th century.
