EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of American history - the 30c Thomas Jefferson proof plate block of four, dated February 22,1890. This top margin block showcases four stunning 30-cent stamps from plate number 24, each imperforate and beautifully preserved. The image takes us back to the late 19th century, where collecting postage stamps was not only a hobby but also an educational institution in itself. The American Bank Note Company's gum engraving technique is evident in the intricate details and fine lines that bring this portrait of Thomas Jefferson to life. Thomas Jefferson, one of America's founding fathers and a renowned diplomat, lawyer, and politician, graces these stamps with his profiled headshot. As we admire this historic artifact from our national postal museum collection at the Smithsonian Institution, it serves as a reminder of our country's rich heritage. The repetition of Jefferson's portrait on this sheet symbolizes his significant contributions to politics and law during his presidency as the third President of the United States. It represents more than just a stamp; it embodies communication, finance, scientific institutions - all essential aspects that shape our nation. As we delve into philately through this photograph by Heritage Art, let us appreciate how such seemingly ordinary objects like postage stamps can hold immense historical value and serve as windows into our past.
