Barack Obama Inauguration
-
Swearing-In Photo with 6 Stamps
On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama was sworn in as
the 44th President of the United States.
Shown here is the close-up photo print of the Swearing-In at the US
Capitol. Michelle holds the Lincoln Bible as her husband takes the oath
of office. Postal Stamp Art is proud to
offer this exclusive, collectible, historic piece of
presidential memorabilia. It's paired with six
uncancelled US stamps highlighting events in his life. On the left is a
20-cents stamp for twenty-fifth anniversary of Hawaii Statehood
issued in 1984....Obama's birth state. Following is the 3-cents stamp
issued in 1959 commemorating the sesquicentennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln.
It depicts his bust sculpted by Gutzon Borglum. We chose this stamp
for its Illinois connection and the fact that Lincoln is a man Obama
greatly admires. The middle
stamps show the 2000 stamp depicting the White House in winter and the 56-cents
stamp issued in 1986 honoring John Harvard below it. Obama earned
his law degree from Harvard University in 1991, was the first black
president of the Harvard Law Review, and was a professor at the
University of Chicago Law School for twelve years. The next stamp was
issued in 1989 and commemorates the bicentennial of the US Senate,
where Obama seved as junior senator from Illinois. The final stamp was
issued in 1954 and celebrates the bicentennial of Columbia University
where Obama earned his undergraduate degree in political science with a
specialization in international relations.
Matted in blue, it will fit a standard 11x14
picture frame. ***Be sure to check out

pieces of postal stamp art, combining full-color photos with stamps.***
