The Postal Service will dedicate its Declaration of Independence stamp on Saturday, July 4, at the B. Free Franklin Post Office in Philadelphia.
The stamp features the year “1776” arranged vertically against a deep blue background. Each numeral takes the shape of a feather quill pen, a nod to the instruments used to sign the original document.
Greg Breeding, an art director for USPS, designed the stamp using the work of typographer Juan Carlos Pagan.
The Forever stamp will be available in sheets of 20 at Post Offices and at usps.com.
