Exhibition
American Stories, American Stamps
Since the first U.S. postage stamps were issued in 1847, designers have been telling American stories on a small scale. Based on an exhibit first developed by United States Postal Service Art Directors Antonio Alcalá and Greg Breeding, the stamps and stamp production art explore how stamps, and the artists who create them, tell the stories that shape our collective identity as Americans.
