John Hanson's stamp is beautiful: so bright with the yellow background. I never saw it before.
ReplyDeleteI like this style of illustration, too.
DeleteThank you! We here in the USA know much less about John Hanson.
ReplyDeleteI guess his name is less popular, isn't it?
DeleteFounding Fathers, what a great idea! I like that $5 one. That 5¢ one not so much! When I started weeding through the box of stamps I got at an estate sale I think half of the US ones must have been that stamp! Now I am working on removing the purple Benjamin Franklins.
ReplyDeleteThat $5 stamp is cool. Those two men could not look more different from each other.
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeleteSome history there!
ReplyDeleteI've just discovered John Hanson :)
DeleteThe Washington portrait reminded me of the trouble he had with false teeth.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about that!
DeleteThe Founding Fathers - a whole generation of leaders who built a nation. I especially like the uniquely-shaped $5 stamp! On a side note: I find Joy's comment about Washington's false teeth funny! :D
ReplyDelete:D
