Edgar Allen Poe Gets his own Postage Stamp
The US Post Office has announced they will issue a stamp in honor of Edgar Allen Poe on the anniversary of his birth 200 years ago. The stamp will be issued on January 16, 2009, in Richmond, Virginia.
The portrait was done by Michael J Deas. Here's a sneak peek at the stamp. Well done, and long overdue.
I saw your posting on DorothyL and thought I'd check out the stamp. It looks to be a nice one and I'll certainly be grabbing up a bunch of these come January. As someone who routinely sends Halloween cards and other types of spooky mail, this is going to be a lot of fun. Thanks for the head's up!
Mystery Writer, photographer & computer programmer. My first novel. "In The Dismal Swamp" features a special agent for the US Fish & Wildlife department, who must uncover the secret behind a woman's drowning in the swamp. Was it an accident, as some claim? Or was it murder? You can reach me at picksbypat(at)gmail.com
