USPS issued two special stamps commemorating World Stamp Show NY 2016 to be held at the Javits Center in New York City from May 28 to June 4 2016.
These elegant design of stamps reminds us the classic engraved stamps and banknotes of 19th-century.
The design of the twenty self-adhesive stamps features intricate patterns of lines and ornamentation inspired by the U.S. Newspaper and Periodical stamps of 1865.
A touch of patriotic colour — ten stamps are blue and ten are red — emphasizes the location of this international exhibition: the United States.
The circle in the centre of the stamp design displays a five-pointed star.
Text surrounding the circle reads “2016 World Stamp Show” and “New York City.” The header on the pane reads: “JOIN US FOR A WONDERFUL WEEK AT WORLD STAMP SHOW-NY 2016.”
Date of Issue: 20 August 2015
Denominations: Forever®
