EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and valuable piece of history - the 12c S. S. Adriatic re-issue single stamp from 1875. Created by the esteemed National Bank Note Company, this unused stamp is a true collector's gem. With its perfect perforation of 12 and absence of grill, it stands as an exceptional example of craftsmanship. Intriguingly, this particular stamp was printed to be exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876. The Post Office Department officials wanted to showcase all previously issued stamps, necessitating a special printing for display purposes. As a result, extra copies were produced and made available for sale exclusively to avid philatelists. The vibrant green color and intricate engraving on hard white paper make this postage stamp truly stand out. Its depiction of an ocean liner symbolizes America's connection with the Atlantic Ocean during that era. This close-up shot highlights every minute detail - from the carefully lettered denomination to the portrait featured prominently at its center. As we admire this remarkable artifact, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance as a means of communication and transportation in the late 19th century. It serves as a testament to our country's rich heritage and reminds us of how far we have come in terms of technology and progress since then.
