A Birds-eye View of the Latest Stamp Issue




The latest stamp issue has a perspective rarely seen on a stamp – images of earth’s wonders from a birds-eye view. From this perspective, the rich and vibrant details of common marvels take on a new life rarely seen from ground level.

The natural scenes in this 15 stamp collection were photographed from airplanes and orbital satellites high above the earth. First day of issue postmarks can be obtained through December 2 by affixing the selected stamp on an envelope and placing that envelope inside a larger envelope addressed to: 


Earthscapes Stamps
Postmaster
7600 Ora Glen Drive
Greenbelt, MD 20770-9998

What other locations would you like to see on an aerial-perspective stamp?

The first day of issue city listed for the Earthscape Stamps is in error. It should be Greenbelt, MD 20770. Refer to Postal Bulletin 22346, bottom of page 50 for confirmation of the change.
