This print showcases a rare 1c Franklin type II single stamp from 1851, an iconic piece of American history. The creator of this remarkable artwork remains unknown, adding to its enigmatic allure. With its vibrant colors and intricate design, the stamp represents more than just a means of postage; it symbolizes communication and the evolution of postal services in the United States. The image transports us back to the 19th century when Benjamin Franklin's influence on American politics and education was at its peak. This collectible stamp serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a politician, scientist, and advocate for public institutions like post offices and educational establishments.
