EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a reproduction of the 10c Washington single stamp from 1875. The creator remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this collectible piece. In the late 19th century, the Post Office Department officials made a significant decision to exhibit samples of all previously issued stamps at the upcoming Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. To meet this demand, extra copies were printed specifically for sale to avid stamp collectors. The image depicts General George Washington's portrait engraved in ink-black on paper, reflecting the intricate graphic design techniques of that era. This historical artifact represents not only a means of communication but also symbolizes America's rich political heritage. Displayed against a plain background, this photograph transports us back in time to witness how mail and postage played crucial roles in connecting people across the country during that period. It serves as a reminder of our nation's dedication to education and scientific institutions like the Smithsonian Institution and National Postal Museum. As we admire this remarkable stamp reproduction, let us appreciate its significance beyond mere philately or collecting hobbies. It stands as a testament to President Washington's enduring legacy and reminds us of our shared history as citizens of the United States.
