World Stamp Today:
FEBRUARY 24, 2023
The United States Postal Service issues the third stamp in its current series of high-denomination definitive (regular-issue) stamps featuring geometric floral patterns.
USPS art director Antonio Alcala worked with Jill Spaeth and Nathan Hill of Spaeth Hill to create the designs for the Floral Geometry stamps.
They created earlier stamps valued at $2 and $5 issued on June 20, 2022.
The designs showcase “a series of overlapping geometric shapes that mimic the symmetry of floral patterns found in nature... the watercolor backgrounds and the glimmer of the foil-stamped designs and typography create a sophisticated look,” the Postal Service said.
The new $10 stamp features a hexagon at the center. A flower with six symmetrical petals is nested inside the hexagon.
