EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare 1c Franklin single stamp from 1887, created by the renowned American Bank Note Company. The unused stamp is exquisitely engraved on soft porous paper with a delicate perf 12 edge. Its vibrant ink ultramarine engraving beautifully captures the likeness of Benjamin Franklin, one of America's founding fathers and an intellectual giant. The aged appearance of this postage stamp adds to its historical significance, representing a piece of America's rich heritage. With its grey color and intricate lettering, it symbolizes not only the country's communication system but also its financial and political institutions. This portrait serves as a reminder of the importance placed on education during that era, as well as the scientific advancements made by individuals like Franklin. As we gaze upon this side view profile, we are transported back to a time when stamps were meticulously crafted works of art. Displayed at the National Postal Museum within the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C. , this photograph preserves both history and culture for generations to come. It offers us a glimpse into an era when stamps were more than just objects used for mailing; they represented professions, politicians, and even served as tools for collecting. As we appreciate this remarkable image captured by American Bank Note Company, let us remember how these small pieces played an integral role in shaping our nation's identity - united states indeed!
