44c Animal Rescue pane of twenty
Object Details
- Description
- On April 30, 2010, in North Hollywood, California, the Postal Service issued a 44-cent Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet stamp in ten designs.
- The stamps, designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC, were issued to raise awareness of the need to adopt shelter pets. The pets depicted on the stamps were photographed by Sally Andersen-Bruce near her home in New Milford, Connecticut. All had been homeless at one time; all but one had been adopted when they were photographed.
- The Banknote Corporation of America printed 300 million stamps using the offset process with microprint "USPS." The stamps were issued in a pressure-sensitive adhesive pane of twenty stamps.
- Reference: Postal Bulletin (March 25, 2010).
