250 Years of Delivering

Among the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the U. S. Postal Service last year, on 23th July they issued a sheet of stamps designed by American cartoonist Chris Ware. As described here:

The 20 interconnected stamps (printed in four rows of five) deliver a bird’s-eye view of a busy city, packed with perfectly drawn buildings, geometric trees and dozens of humans bustling about. In inimitable Chris Ware fashion, the progression of stamps also takes the viewer through all four seasons.

When I saw these online, they become instant favourites. And then I received them not once, but twice!
