EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the 10c Statue of Freedom Newspapers and Periodicals imprint single from 1875. Created by an unknown artist, this mint single stamp holds a significant historical value. In preparation for the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, Post Office Department officials decided to display samples of all previously issued stamps. To meet this demand, extra copies were printed specifically for sale to avid stamp collectors. The image depicts a powerful symbol of American freedom - the Statue of Freedom armed with knowledge and enlightenment. This stunning sculpture by Thomas Crawford represents not only artistic excellence but also embodies the spirit of education and communication that is deeply rooted in our country's heritage. With intricate details captured through ink black on paper, this photograph transports us back to the 19th century when postage stamps served as vital means of correspondence across the nation. It reminds us of how important mail delivery was in connecting people from different corners of America. Preserved at the National Postal Museum under Smithsonian Institution's care, this collectible stamp serves as a testament to our rich postal history and scientific institutions that have contributed to its development over time. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us reflect on its significance within our cultural landscape and appreciate how it continues to inspire both philatelists and art enthusiasts alike.
