EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 30c Franklin reprint single, created by the renowned Continental Bank Note Company in 1875. This particular stamp holds great historical significance as it was produced for the Post Office Department's exhibition at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia the following year. The department decided to exhibit samples of all previously issued stamps, which necessitated a special printing and resulted in extra copies being made available for sale to avid stamp collectors. The close-up view of this exquisite engraving allows us to appreciate its intricate details and vibrant colors. Benjamin Franklin, one of America's founding fathers, is depicted on this stamp with his iconic coat of arms and capital letter blazon. The orange hue adds a touch of warmth and energy to the overall composition. As we delve into this image, we are transported back to the 19th century when postage stamps were not only functional but also served as educational tools. They represented communication, finance, politics, and national heritage art all rolled into one small piece of paper. Displayed here is an exceptional example from that era - a testament to both craftsmanship and history. Let us admire this remarkable work by Continental Bank Note Company while acknowledging its role in preserving our rich philatelic legacy for generations to come.
