EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare glimpse into the world of stamp collecting in 19th century America. The image showcases a special printing single of the 2c Andrew Jackson Interior Department stamp from 1875, created by an unknown artist. During this time, the Post Office Department officials made a momentous decision to display samples of all previously issued stamps at the upcoming Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. To meet this demand, extra copies were ordered and made available for sale to avid stamp collectors. The photograph not only serves as a visual record of this unique piece but also highlights its historical significance. It symbolizes communication and correspondence in an era when mail played a crucial role in connecting people across vast distances. The profile view of General Andrew Jackson on the stamp reflects his political influence and legacy as one of America's most prominent politicians and presidents. The vibrant colors used, such as ink vermillion, add depth and richness to the design. Preserved within the National Postal Museum at the Smithsonian Institution, this specimen represents both educational institutions' commitment to preserving our nation's heritage art forms and scientific advancements in postage technology. As we admire this remarkable artifact today, it reminds us of how stamps have evolved over time while remaining essential tools for sending messages throughout our great country - United States of America.
