Battlefields of the American Revolution
On April 16, 2025, the United States Postal Service issued a series of postage stamps "Battlefields of the American Revolution". The series is dedicated to the most significant battles that took place during the American War of Independence in 1765 - 1783. The minisheet consists of fifteen stamps, arranged in 5 rows of 3 stamps each. Each battle is dedicated to one row of 3 postage stamps. Designer Derry Noyes developed an interesting concept for the issue, where one stamp is a modern photograph of the place of military glory, and the other two stamps, united by a common design, are a historical reconstruction of the events of those years. Thus, the connection with historical events of almost 250 years ago is clearly demonstrated. |
