The Postal Service is a marvel of the modern age and of the cumulative experience of 250 years. The everyday story of connecting Americans near and far by mail is meticulously depicted in the artwork for one of the stamp sets being released today: 250 Years of Delivering. Offering a bird’s-eye view of a bustling town, each individual stamp is a frame of sequential art that tells the story of a mail carrier’s journey as she walks her daily route. The story progresses clockwise through a year’s four seasons. The artwork also contains numerous postal icons such as collection boxes, a post rider on horseback and delivery vehicles. Collectively, the pane represents the faithful presence of USPS throughout the year. Chris Ware created the stamp artwork and co-designed the pane with Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS. The 250 Years of Delivering stamps are issued as a pane of 20 Forever stamps, which will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price. News of the stamps is being shared with the hashtag #250YearsOfDelivering.
