EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the 96c Justice Newspapers and Periodicals imprint single from 1875. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. In 1875, officials from the Post Office Department made a groundbreaking decision to display samples of all previously issued stamps at the upcoming Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. To fulfill this unique requirement, extra copies were printed specifically for sale to avid stamp collectors. The image itself transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the late 19th century. An allegorical figure representing justice takes center stage, surrounded by symbolic elements that evoke America's rich heritage and educational institutions. The delicate pale rose ink color adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. As we delve into this photograph, we are reminded of the importance of communication and correspondence in our country's history. Postage stamps have long served as tangible tokens connecting people across vast distances, bridging gaps between communities and fostering unity within our nation. Preserved within the National Postal Museum under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, this exquisite stamp stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can hold immense value when viewed through an appreciative lens.
