EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare 12c Washington trial color card proof, created by the esteemed American Bank Note Company in 1881. The trial color proof was specifically prepared for the International Cotton Exposition held in Atlanta that same year. As part of this exhibition, the Post Office Department requested card proofs of previously issued stamps to be displayed in five vibrant colors: black, scarlet, brown, green, and blue. The image depicts a engraving on cardboard featuring Major George Washington himself. This collectible piece represents an important chapter in American history as it highlights both communication and politics during the late 19th century. The United States Postal Service played a crucial role in connecting people across the vast country at that time. Displayed proudly at the National Postal Museum within the Smithsonian Institution, this stamp serves as a testament to our nation's rich heritage. It symbolizes not only President George Washington's significant political contributions but also signifies how postage stamps were once treasured pieces of art used for correspondence and mail delivery. As we admire this remarkable artifact from yesteryears, let us appreciate its educational value and remember how it reflects upon our country's past achievements in both scientific institutions and political arenas.
