Celebrate a major American postal anniversary with the 250 Years of Delivering Forever® stamps from the U.S. Postal Service.
The pane of 20 interconnected stamps shows a bird’s-eye view of a mail carrier’s route through a bustling town. Laid out in 4 rows of 5, the stamps depict the story through the 4 seasons from top-left to bottom-right. The artwork also contains numerous icons representing the Postal Service.
Chris Ware created the stamp artwork and co-designed the pane with art director Antonio Alcalá.
The 250 Years of Delivering stamps are being issued in panes of 20 Forever® stamps. These Forever stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce rate.
