EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and valuable piece of American history - the 3c Washington type III block of five from 1860. The creator of this remarkable stamp remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. Cancelled with the June 15,1861 San Francisco cds, this block of five exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship that went into early postal communication. As we gaze upon this collectible treasure, we are transported back to the 19th century America. Its vibrant color and intricate design symbolize not only a means of correspondence but also a reflection of our nation's political landscape during that time. The image evokes thoughts about education and scientific institutions as well as major political figures like General George Washington himself. This postage stamp represents more than just mail; it embodies the heritage and legacy that shaped our great country. Displayed in the National Postal Museum at the Smithsonian Institution, this philatelic gem serves as a reminder of how far our postal service has come since those early days. It reminds us to appreciate both the advancements in communication technology and the rich history behind them. With its side view profile capturing President Washington's likeness in ink dull red on paper, this stamp is truly a work of art worthy of admiration by collectors worldwide. Let us celebrate this extraordinary piece from an era long gone but never forgotten - an emblematic symbol representing unity, progress, and pride for all Americans.
