EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and historically significant artifact - the 3c Washington essay from 1851. Created by an unknown artist, this essay was prepared by Draper, Welsh, & Co during the 19th century in America. The vibrant colors of this engraving, inked in dark carmine, bring to life the profile of General George Washington himself. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance of communication and correspondence in our country's history. The postal service played a crucial role in connecting people across vast distances during this era. This stamp serves as a symbol of that connection and signifies how mail served as a lifeline for countless Americans. The National Postal Museum and Smithsonian Institution have preserved this precious piece at their scientific institution for all to admire. It is not only a collectible item but also an educational tool that offers insights into politics and philately during the nineteenth century. Intriguingly, despite its age and significance, little is known about its creator or origins beyond Draper, Welsh & Co's involvement. Nonetheless, it remains an iconic representation of President Washington's legacy within the United States' rich heritage art collection. This print invites us to appreciate both the artistic beauty captured within it and reflect on how postage stamps have shaped our nation's history over time.
