EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the 2c Washington block of thirty-five stamps from 1890. Created by the renowned American Bank Note Company, this right margin block of 35 stamps is a true collector's gem. The vibrant colors and intricate details on each stamp reflect the artistry and craftsmanship of its time. The image captures the essence of communication and education in America during the late 19th century. As we observe this aged artifact, it serves as a reminder of our country's founding father, George Washington, who graces each stamp with his dignified profile. These stamps were not just objects for postage; they symbolized national pride and political significance. Displayed at the National Postal Museum within the prestigious Smithsonian Institution, this historic sheet represents more than just monetary value. It embodies our rich heritage and pays homage to those who have shaped our nation's past. As we delve into philately -the study and collection of postage stamps- we are transported back in time to an era where ink lakes flowed freely onto paper. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural importance behind these small pieces of art. Let us cherish this snapshot that encapsulates both scientific institutions like American Bank Note Company as well as political figures like President Washington himself. Through this image, we can explore centuries-old traditions while celebrating America's enduring legacy in postal services and beyond.
