| Serving as our nation’s representatives around
the world, diplomats promote foreign policy,
resolve disputes, and protect American citizens
abroad. The accomplished diplomats featured
on these stamps are remembered for their
contributions to international relations-not only
as negotiators and administrators but also as
trailblazers, shapers of policy, peacemakers,
and humanitarians. This souvenir sheet consists of a collage by Fred
Otnes featuring details from photographs of six
diplomats placed in front of visas, passport pages,
and other ephemera associated with diplomacy. The portrait of Hiram Bingham IV is a detail from
a photograph dated August 17, 1933, which _
accompanied news reports of Bingham sailing to
Europe to serve as vice consul in Warsaw. The portrait of Charles E. Bohlen is an undated
photograph from the U.S. Department of State.
The photograph appeared on the dust jacket of
Bohlenâs 1969 book The Transformation of _
American Foreign Policy. The portrait of Philip C. Habib is a detail from
an undated photograph by Bruce Hoertel. The portraits of Robert D. Murphy and Clifton R.
Wharton, Sr., are details from undated
photographs provided by the National Archives
in Washington, D.C. The portrait of Frances E. Willis is a detail from
an undated photograph.

| With the issuance of the Sluggers stamps, the U.S.
Postal Service recognizes the accomplishments of
four baseball greats: Mickey Mantle, Mel Ott, Roy
Campanella, and Hank Greenberg. Remembered as
powerful hitters who wowed fans with awesome and
often record-breaking home runs, these four men
were also versatile players who helped to lead their
teams to victory and set impressive standards for
subsequent generations. Roy Campanella
Nicknamed “Campy,” Roy Campanella (1921-1993)
hit 242 home runs during his ten-year career with the
Brooklyn Dodgers, the famous “Boys of Summer.” A
three-time National League MVP, he was also the first
black catcher in the history of Major League Baseball. Hank Greenberg
Hank Greenberg (1911-1986) is remembered as one of
the all-time greatest right-handed batters. During his
time with the Detroit Tigers, “Hammerin' Hank” led the
American League in home runs and in RBI four times
each, and he was twice named Most Valuable Player. Mickey Mantle
Synonymous with the New York Yankees for nearly two
decades, switch-hitter Mickey Mantle (1931-1995) hit
536 homers, including a record 18 home runs in World
Series play. A three-time American League MVP, he won
the Triple Crown in 1956. Mel Ott
Known for his unusual powerful high-leg-kick batting
stance, Mel Ott (1909-1958) distinguished himself with
the New York Giants for 22 seasons. Ott was the first
National League player to hit 500 home runs, and he led
the league in homers six times. | | | | | |

| With the issuance of the American Motorcycles stamps,
the U.S. Postal Service recognizes the role of motorcycles
in American culture with four stamps that feature digital
illustrations of a 1918 Cleveland, a 1940 Indian Four, a
1965 Harley-Davidson Electra-Glide, and a circa 1970
chopper. Cleveland 1918
The single-cylinder Cleveland motorcycle depicted on this
stamp was built by the Cleveland Motorcycle Manufacturing
Company of Cleveland, Ohio.
Advertisements claimed that this motorcycle, which featured
a 2.5-horspower, single-cylinder motor, could travel 75 miles
on a single gallon of gasoline and reach speeds of up to 35
to 40 miles per hour. Weighing around 150 pounds and
selling for $175, the Cleveland was both lightweight and
affordable, making it a popular motorcycle of its time.
The model for the "Cleveland 1918" stamp artwork is a 1918
Cleveland A2 owned by Penny Nickerson of Long Island, New
York. Indian 1940
The motorcycle depicted on this stamp was made by the Indian
Motorcycle Company. The 1940 entry in a series of deluxe, four
-cylinder motorcycles known as the Four, this streamlined bike
featured skirted fenders that partially covered the wheels, a
controversial design innovation that soon became an Indian
trademark. The model for the illustration featured on this stamp is a
motorcycle owned by Michael and Larry Spielfogel of New York
City. It is depicted in the deep red color often associated with
Indian motorcycles.
| Harley-Davidson 1965
With features such as whitewall tires, extensive chrome, large
fenders, and spacious fiberglass saddlebags, the Harley-
Davidson featured on this stamp is considered by many to be
one of the company':s most iconic motorcycles. Known as the
Electra-Glide, this model was first manufactured in 1965, when
its new features included a push-button electric starter. | | | | The model for the illustration featured on the Harley-Davidson
1965 stamp is a motorcycle owned by George Tsunis of Port
Jefferson, New York. Chopper c.1970
The name "chopper" derives from the process of removing,
or "chopping," unnecessary or unwanted components from a
motorcycle. The term often indicates an extensively customized
motorcycle with such features as a stretched frame, stepped
seat, and raised handlebars. Typically, the frame has been
stretched with an extended-length fork leading to the front wheel. Especially prominent during the 1960s and 1970s, choppers
follow in a tradition of earlier customized motorcycles that were
known as "bobbers" for their shortened, or bobbed, fenders. The circa 1970 chopper featured on this stamp was invented by
the stamp artist in consultation with professional chopper builders.
Although lacking various safety features such as mirrors and turn
signals that are usually required under current laws, this chopper
would have been legal to ride circa 1970. |

| The American Treasures stamp series is intended to
showcase beautiful works of American fine art and
crafts. For the 2006 issuance, art director Derry Noyes
chose photographs of ten quilts created between circa
1940 and 2001 by African-American women in Gee's
Bend, Alabama.
Noted for their unexpected color combinations, bold
patterns, and improvised designs, the quilts of Gee's
Bend are also remarkable for the humble materials with
which they are made and the humbler circumstances in
which they are born. Until recently, necessity limited the
quilters to fabric from everyday items such as flour sacks,
old dresses, and worn-out denim and flannel work clothes.
Stains, mended holes and tears, faded patches, and seams
all became integral parts of a quilt's design and ensured
that the materials, as well as the quilts, told the story of
Gee's Bend.
Today outside interest in the quilts of Gee's Bend is growing.
Art historian William Arnett and his son Matt began collecting
the quilts in 1997. Their collection-which has been exhibited
in museums around the U.S.-resides with Tinwood Alliance,
a nonprofit foundation in Atlanta, Georgia, that supports African
-American vernacular art. The renewed attention has had a
positive social and economic impact on the lives of the quilters
and other residents of Gee's Bend. In 2003 the women of Gee's
Bend, with the help of Tinwood Alliance, formed the Gee's Bend
Quilters Collective.
The American Treasures stamp series was inaugurated in 2001
with the Amish Quilts stamp pane. The 2002, 2003, and 2004
issuances featured artwork by John James Audubon, Mary Cassatt,
and Martin Johnson Heade, respectively. In 2005, the theme
returned to textiles with the issuance of the New Mexico Rio Grande
blankets. | | | | | |

| | | | Issue Type: Special | | Issue City: New York, NY | | Issue Date: 10/5/2006 | | Issue Series: Holiday Celebrations | In 2006 the U.S. Postal Service celebrates the winter holiday season
with four stamps featuring photographs of snowflakes. Falling from
thousands of feet, these intricate ice crystals commonly begin as a
piece of dust tumbling through the clouds. Gathering water molecules,
they blossom into crystal forms in endlessly different patterns because
of the constantly changing conditions of the atmosphere.
Snowflakes generally take one of seven basic forms. For example, stellar,
or starlike, snowflakes usually grow six primary branches that support
arms, which often develop thin plates of ice at the ends. Bitter-cold
conditions create crystals with more facets. The most symmetrical
snowflakes occur during light snowfalls when there is cold weather and little
ind. If the air is warmer, crystals tend to stick together to form less
symmetrical snowflakes, or they can take on a needlelike shape. In higher
humidity, snowflakes may branch more, making them dendritic, or plantlike,
in appearance.
These stamps are photographs of two basic snowflake patterns by physicist
Kenneth Libbrecht. They are stellar dendrites, which form branching treelike
arms, and sectored plates, which as their name suggests, form platelike arms.
Because fallen snowflakes start to melt and lose their shape in mere minutes,
Libbrecht quickly transferred the snowflakes from cardboard to a glass slide
using a paintbrush. He then snapped the photos inside a temperature-regulated
enclosure using a digital camera attached to a high-resolution microscope.
This is a pane of 20 stamps. | | | | | |

| | | | Issue Type: Special | | Issue City: Denver, CO | | Issue Date: 10/17/2006 | | Issue Series: Holiday Celebrations | The 2006 Christmas stamp features an oil-on-canvas with gold details
entitled Madonna and Child with Bird. Dating to around 1765, the painting
is attributed to Ignacio Chacón—an artist active from about 1745 to 1775
in Cuzco, Peru. It is now part of the Engracia and Frank Barrows Freyer
Collection of Peruvian colonial art at the Denver Art Museum.
The theme of each "traditional" U.S. Christmas stamp issued since 1978
has been the Madonna and Child, and these holiday stamps have attracted
a devoted following over the years. Ignacio Chacón's Madonna and Child
with Bird underscores the appreciation of this timeless genre. Imbued with
the sacred symbols of two cultures, the painting is a striking reminder of the
diversity inherent in the spread of Christianity to the New World.
In designing the stamp, art director Michael Osborne slightly cropped the
painting's floral "frame" and surrounded the entire composition with a gold
border that echoes Chacón's use of gold-leaf embellishments.
