EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and valuable piece of history - the 10c Franklin Newspapers and Periodicals trial color proof from 1865. The creator of this remarkable artifact remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The stamp itself is a vibrant blue-green hue, beautifully engraved on thick paper, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship of its time. Its significance lies not only in its collectible nature but also in its representation of Benjamin Franklin's enduring legacy. Franklin, an iconic figure in American history, was not only a politician but also a scientist and inventor. His contributions to communication and education are immortalized through this postage stamp. It serves as a reminder of his role in establishing the national postal service and his dedication to advancing scientific institutions. Displayed at the National Postal Museum within the Smithsonian Institution, this stamp evokes nostalgia for an era when mail was more than just correspondence; it symbolized connection between people across the country. Stamp collecting enthusiasts will appreciate this exquisite piece for both its historical value and aesthetic appeal. As we admire this photograph print today, we are reminded of how stamps like these were once essential tools that bridged distances and united communities throughout the United States during the 19th century.
