From the USPS on October 29, 2025:
The 35th stamp in the Literary Arts series honors Sarah Orne Jewett (1849-1909), a
lifelong resident of Maine and a foundational figure in American literary regionalism. Her strong female characters have led to a renewed interest in her work, which includes hundreds of short stories as well as novels, poetry and essays. Ethel Kessler, an art director for USPS, designed the stamp using an original portrait of Jewett by Mark Summers, with the Maine coast as background, broken by a large ray of sunshine that evokes a scene from her best-known novel, “The Country of the Pointed Firs” (1896).
More details will be posted below the line, with the most recent information at the top.
