Item Details
Description
Sometimes said to be the first commemorative stamps (other times said to be the precursors to the commemoratives leaving the distinction of "first" to the 1893 Columbians) the 1869 Pictorials were the first stamps to include themes other than pictures of great Americans. The stamps featured trains, ships, the landing of Columbus, and the signing of the Declaration of Independence among its topics. The stamps were reportedly unpopular with the public and only sold for a year.
