64c Dolphin single
Object Details
- Description
- On June 12, 2009, in Washington, DC, the US Postal Service issued the 64-cent Dolphin definitive stamp in a pressure-sensitive adhesive pane of twenty stamps. Carl T. Herrman of North Las Vegas, Nevada, designed the stamp.
- This 2009 stamp, with an illustration by Nancy Stahl, New York, New York, features a bottlenose dolphin leaping from the water. Stahl has created illustrations for several stamps, including the Dragonfly (2008) and Florida Panther (2007), designed in a similar style. She used several photographs of bottlenose dolphins, marine mammals noted for their high intelligence and playful behavior, as reference for the art.
- Avery Dennison (AVR), Clinton, South Carolina, printed 40 million stamps using the gravure process.
