EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic 1c Statue of Freedom Newspapers and Periodicals single postage stamp from 1885. Created by an unknown artist, this mint single exemplifies the rich heritage of American art in the 19th century. The engraving, rendered in exquisite ink black detail, beautifully captures the essence of armed freedom. The image transports us to a time when communication was primarily through mail, highlighting the significance of postal service as a means of correspondence across the country. This historic artifact symbolizes not only educational institutions but also scientific establishments that played a vital role in shaping America's progress. Displayed at the National Postal Museum within the esteemed Smithsonian Institution, this collectible stamp represents more than just philately; it embodies our nation's values and cultural identity. The statue itself is a remarkable sculpture created by Thomas Crawford, depicting Freedom standing tall with her sword and shield. As we admire this rare piece of artwork frozen in time, let us reflect on its profound symbolism: unity under one flag, liberty for all citizens, and pride in our great nation - United States of America. Let this photograph serve as a reminder that even centuries later, these enduring symbols continue to inspire awe and reverence among collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
