29c Flag Over White House single
Object Details
- Description
- The Postal Service recognized the 200th anniversary of the White House with a 29-cent regular-issue coil stamp issued in Washington, DC, on April 23, 1992. Jack Ruther's design features a traditional northeast view of The White House, with the American Flag waving above.
- The White House, officially known as the 'President's House' until 1901, is more than just a fine example of eighteenth-century stone draftsmanship. It is the president's home and office, a historic site viewed many visitors annually, and a familiar symbol of American democracy.
- Designed by V. Jack Ruther, the stamps were printed through the intaglio (two-color) press.
