New England Coastal Lighthouses Sheet of 20 U.S. Postage Forever Stamps Scott 4795a

Issue Date: July 13, 2013 These self-adhesive stamps are being issued in sheets of 20 There's something about lighthouses. They fascinate us; they enchant us; they draw us in. Utilitarian yet majestic, these structures possess a beauty and romance that reach far beyond their practical natures. Recognizing our love affair with these lonely sentinels, the U.S. Postal Service has released the New England Coastal Lighthouses (Forever) series of stamps celebrating our nation's lighthouses. New England Coastal Lighthouses, the sixth in the series, features five lighthouses: * Portland Head (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) * Portsmouth Harbor (New Castle, New Hampshire) * Point Judith, (Narragansett, Rhode Island) * New London Harbor (New London, Connecticut) * Boston Harbor (Boston, Massachusetts). Each stamp shows a close-up view of one of the five lighthouses that captures not only the down-to-earth aspect of the tower but also the mysterious qualities that compel us to come closer. The five lighthouses are among the oldest in the U.S., and each is on the National Register of Historic Places. Boston Harbor Light is also a National Historic Landmark. Howard Koslow created original paintings for New England Coastal Lighthouses stamp art-and for the entire Lighthouses series. Howard E. Paine and Greg Breeding were the art directors. The New England Coastal Lighthouses stamps are being issued as Forever stamps. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate. Made in the USA.
