More about Colorful Stamps Surround Historical Portraits

The United States first issued postage stamps on July 1, 1847, marking a significant shift from the previous system of hand-stamps and handwritten markings to indicate postage payment. The initial stamps featured portraits of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington and were sold in New York City. Prior to this, private carriers like Alexander M. Greig's City Despatch Post had introduced adhesive stamps, but these were not part of the official U.S. postal system. The use of U.S. postage stamps became mandatory starting January 1, 1856.
The image features two historical figures, intricately designed with an array of colorful stamps surrounding them. The artwork blends portraiture and philately, creating a rich visual tapestry.
