EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare glimpse into the world of stamp collecting in 19th century America. The image showcases a single special printing of the 2c Andrew Jackson Executive stamp, created in 1875 by an unknown artist. This particular stamp was produced for the Post Office Department's exhibition at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The decision to display samples of previously issued stamps at this prestigious event required a unique printing, leading to extra copies being made available for sale to collectors. The vibrant color and intricate design of this postage stamp speak volumes about its historical significance. Andrew Jackson, depicted on the stamp, was not only a renowned politician but also served as President of the United States from 1829 to 1837. His profile is captured beautifully in this side view portrait, showcasing his strong and determined character. As we admire this piece of heritage art, it reminds us of how stamps have long been more than just tools for communication or payment; they are windows into our country's rich history and culture. This photograph serves as a reminder that even seemingly small objects like postage stamps can hold immense value and contribute to our understanding of past eras. Displayed proudly at the National Postal Museum within the Smithsonian Institution, this specimen stands as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and philately - reminding us that even everyday items can become treasured collectibles over time.
