Item Description

Detailed Description
This strip of stamps comes from the coil of 100. There is at least 1/8 inch of extra backer on each side of the strip.

In 2014, the u.S. Postal service will issue a new stamp at the
second-ounce rate. The stamp is intended for use on envelopes and
packages that require additional postage. (An exact release date has not
yet been set.)

It features a black-and-white photograph of the statue of President
Abraham Lincoln that is housed in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington,
D.C. Created by sculptor Daniel Chester French, the statue enshrines the
sixteenth President in his prime.

Using photographs and life masks of Lincoln’s face and hands taken
before and during the Civil War as inspiration, French cast the
President’s features in a stoic expression.

In designing the stamp, art director Derry Noyes chose to work with a
photograph of a sculpted portrait of Lincoln rather than a more
traditional illustration or painting. Carol M. Highsmith’s photograph of
this iconic Lincoln statue offered a fresh take. Noyes selected a
detail of the image in order to highlight the President’s features most
effectively.

Highsmith is renowned for her photographs of monuments, memorials,
and architecture, as well as scenes from across the United States. She
has donated her work to the This is America! Library of Congress Collection.
