EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a 1c Franklin imprint block of fifty stamps from the year 1890. Created by the esteemed American Bank Note Company, this block features an intricate imprint that proudly bears their name. The stamps themselves are beautifully aged, with a rich blue color that adds to their allure. The image transports us back to the 19th century, when postage stamps were not only tools for communication but also symbols of national pride. Benjamin Franklin, one of America's founding fathers and a renowned politician and scientist, graces each stamp with his profile. This makes it not just a collection item for philatelists but also an educational artifact that represents our country's heritage. Displayed in cream-colored paper sheets, these stamps evoke nostalgia for old-world charm and simpler times. They serve as a reminder of how mail delivery was once meticulously handled by dedicated professionals within the postal service. Preserved at the National Postal Museum under the Smithsonian Institution, this photograph captures every minute detail of this historic object. It allows viewers to appreciate both its artistic beauty and its significance in shaping our nation's past.
