EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the 72c Justice Newspapers and Periodicals imprint single, created in 1875 by an unknown artist. The Post Office Department officials made a remarkable decision to exhibit samples of all previously issued stamps at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia the following year. To fulfill this purpose, they ordered extra copies for sale to stamp collectors. The image portrays an allegorical figure representing justice, symbolizing fairness and equality within American society during the 19th century. This artistic representation is rich in color, with ink pale rose dominating the scene. It beautifully captures the concept of communication and correspondence as integral parts of a country's heritage. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of educational institutions from that era, this postage stamp serves as both a collectible item and a testament to America's commitment to education and scientific advancement. Its presence at the National Postal Museum underlines its significance as part of United States' postal service history. Although we do not know who specifically crafted this exquisite piece, it remains an important artifact showcasing artistry from that time period. As you admire this photograph print, let your imagination transport you back to when letters were handwritten on paper and mail played a vital role in connecting people across vast distances within our great nation -the United States of America.
