THIS COMMANDING COLOR PORTRAIT OF ROBERT E. LEE IN FULL DRESS UNIFORM IS JOINED BY FIVE HISTORIC, COLLECTIBLE, UNCANCELLED U.S. POSTAGE STAMPS. FROM 1961 TO 1965, THE USPS ISSUED A DIFFERENT STAMP EACH YEAR TO COMMEMORATE THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF A CIVIL WAR EVENT.
WE HAVE INCLUDED FOUR OF THE FIVE - FT. SUMTER (1961), SHILOH (1962). GETTYSBURG (1963), AND THE WILDERNESS (1964). BY THE WAY, THE FIFTH STAMP IN THIS SERIES IS APPOMATTOX, AND WE NEVER PUT THIS STAMP WITH THE GENERAL. THE LAST STAMP THAT WE HAVE ADDED IS THE 1955 ISSUE HONORING ROBERT E. LEE. THIS IS THE ONLY U.S. STAMP ISSUED JUST FOR HIM.
UNIQUELY MATTED IN GRAY AND MAROON, THIS IS ANOTHER POSTAL STAMP ART EXCLUSIVE. SIZED TO FIT A STANDARD 11 X 14 FRAME, IT WILL PRIZED BY A CIVIL WAR ENTHUSIAST.
