EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare piece of American history - the 5c Ulysses S. Grant proof plate block of four, dated June 2,1890. Produced by the esteemed American Bank Note Company, this top margin block features imperforate stamps with plate number 48. The rich brown color and intricate detailing make it a true collector's gem. Ulysses S. Grant, a renowned general and the 18th President of the United States, is immortalized in this postage stamp set. His distinguished portrait gazes away with determination and wisdom, reflecting his significant contributions to our nation's armed forces and politics. The aged appearance adds an air of nostalgia to this artifact from the late 19th century. With its gum backing intact and ink yellow-brown hue, it serves as a tangible link to America's past. Preserved within the National Postal Museum at the Smithsonian Institution, this remarkable proof plate block symbolizes more than just philately or finance; it represents our country's heritage and educational institutions' commitment to preserving historical treasures for future generations. As we admire these four individuals on each stamp - men who have shaped our nation through military service and political leadership - we are reminded of their enduring impact on America's progress. Let us cherish this glimpse into history captured by Heritage Art while appreciating how communication has evolved since that time but remains an essential thread connecting us all as citizens of this great country.
