The stamp art is a painting of three flags in a circular formation, reminiscent of the 50 flags encircling the Washington Monument. The artist used three photographs of the same flag taken seconds apart as reference and stitched together the images into a single composition.
Laura Stutzman was the stamp designer and illustrator. Ethel Kessler was the art director.
These Forever stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.
