Announced November 20, 2018. The most recent information will appear after the large illustration and the introductory description from the USPS. The Scott catalogue number is 5346. The California dogface graces the seventh non-machineable butterfly stamp for use on irregularly sized envelopes, such as square greeting cards, invitations or announcements. The stamp art was digitally created using images of preserved butterflies as a starting point. The result is a highly stylized, simplified image of a California dogface (Zerene eurydice) rather than an exact replica. Nationally known artist Tom Engeman created the stamp art. Art director Derry Noyes designed the stamp.

December 19th: This stamp will be issued Sunday, January 27th, with a Kansas City MO postmark but no first-day ceremony.

Updated January 17th:
An earlier Postal Bulletin had indicated a Digital Color Postmark for this issue, and showed a design. The USPS now says there will not be one. We have inquired why, since the last thee or four nonmachineable-rate butterfly stamps did have DCPs, and a design was obviously prepared for this one.

“Sales data did not support the continuation of Digital Color Postmarks for the non-machinable surcharge stamps,” USPS spokesman Roy Betts said on January 22nd, in response to an email inquiry from The Virtual Stamp Club.

Meanwhile, here is the design for the Pictorial first-day postmark: It measures 2.98″x1.39″.

Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamps. Tyler Lang created the stamp art.

New Forever Stamps Feature Winter Berries

What: With the release of the Winter Berries Forever stamps, the U.S. Postal Service celebrates four of winter’s small yet vibrant offerings: the winterberry (Ilex verticillata), the juniper berry (Juniperus communis), the beautyberry (Callicarpa americana), and the soapberry (Sapindus saponaria). News of the stamps is being shared with the hashtag #WinterBerriesStamps.

Who: Steven R. Phelps, Acting Vice President of Pricing and Costing, U.S. Postal Service

When: Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 11 a.m. CDT

Where: Tulsa Botanic Garden
A.R. and Marylouise Tandy Floral Terraces
3900 Tulsa Botanic Drive
Tulsa, OK 74127

RSVP: Dedication ceremony attendees are encouraged to RSVP at usps.com/winterberries.

Background:
The stamp art features highly detailed botanical portraits of each plant that highlight the bold colors and rich textures of their berries.
The winter months may seem like a time when nature’s bold imagery gets muted by cold temperatures and snowfall — but if you take a closer look you may just find some of the most beautiful plant growth of any season. Coming in an array of shapes, sizes and colors, winter berries provide bursts of life during the year’s coldest months.
Artist Steve Buchanan worked with art director Antonio Alcalá to create these stamps.

Announced November 20, 2018. The most recent information will appear after the large illustration and the introductory description from the USPS. This stamp issuance celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, held in the small farming community of Bethel, New York, in August 1969. It was the most famous rock fair in history and an expression of the youth counterculture of the 1960s. The stamp art, designed by art director Antonio Alcalá¡, features the image of the dove from graphic artist Arnold Skolnick’s promotional 1969 poster for the fair along with some of the poster’s words: “3 Days of Peace and Music.” In the stamp art the words are stacked in the background in brilliant colors along with the year 1969, USA, and Forever (the value of the stamp). The white dove stands in the foreground.

The stamp will be issued August 8th in New York City. See the July 8th entry below.

The Scott catalogue number for this issue is 5409.

The Woodstock festival was held August 15-18, 1969, in Bethel, New York, after the town of Woodstock, NY, more than 40 miles away, refused permission. It will be interesting to see if the USPS issues the stamp in Bethel or Woodstock. Or perhaps the stamp will be issued somewhere else entirely, such as the site of a 2019 rock festival (Lollapalooza in Chicago, August 1-4?).

Updated September 9th:
A 50th anniversary reunion festival is planned for August 15-18, 2019, in Watkins Glen, NY (about 115 miles WNW or 150 miles driving).

Updated June 11th:
The reunion festival is now in doubt. Watkins Glenn International has terminated its agreement to host the 50th anniversary event. However, a principal organizer says there are talks with another venue. Financial backers pulled out earlier this year.

Updated July 4th:
The USPS now says this stamp will be issued “in August,” but does not have a date. The current first-day city is New York.

From the Postal Bulletin:

In August 2019, in New York, NY, the United States Postal Service® will issue the Woodstock stamp (Forever® priced at the First-Class Mail® rate) in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive pane of 20 stamps (Item 479400). The stamp will go on sale nationwide August 2019, and must not be sold or canceled before the first-day-of-issue, which will be announced in a future Postal Bulletin.

Woodstock Forever Stamps
Commemorating 50th Anniversary of Woodstock Music and Art Fair

What: The U.S. Postal Service is issuing Woodstock Forever stamps in observance of the 50th anniversary of the most famous rock festival in history.

News of the stamp is being shared on social media using the hashtags #WoodstockStamps and #PeaceForeverStamps.

When: Thursday, Aug. 8 at 11 a.m. EDT

Where:
“Play it Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll”
Metropolitan Museum of Art
1000 5th Ave.
New York, NY 10028

Background: The Woodstock Music and Art Fair was held in the small farming community of Bethel, NY, in August 1969. Approximately 500,000 members of the “Woodstock Generation,” a term later used in reference to young people of the time, convened to promote peace and love through music.

Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamp artwork which features an image of a dove along with the words “3 Days of Peace and Music,” evocative of the original 1969 promotional poster for the festival. In the stamp art, the words are stacked in the background in brilliant colors along with the year 1969, USA and Forever (the value of the stamp). The white dove stands in the foreground.

The stamps will be available for purchase Aug. 8. Pre-orders for the Woodstock Forever stamps can be reserved through The Postal Store at usps.com/shop.  [but not as of July 8th -VSC]

Announced November 20, 2018. The most recent information will appear after the large illustration and the introductory description from the USPS. Four whimsical se-tenant stamps celebrate the fun of America’s state and county fairs. The stamps were designed to work together as a panorama of fair activities, while each stamp also works as an individual picture. The stamp on the far left shows farmers unloading produce behind a white fence. In the second stamp, a child holding a chicken sits atop the same fence, with carnival rides — a Ferris wheel and merry-go-round — in the background. Those rides can be seen in the third stamp, where some fairgoers admire the livestock behind the fence while others walk, balloons in hand, toward a sweets stand. The last stamp shows children at the stand buying treats from the vendor. The art director was Greg Breeding. Mike Ryan designed the stamps with original art by Mick Wiggins.

Updated June 13th:

Background:
Frogs live on every continent except Antarctica; more than 90 species live in the United States, including the four on these stamps.

Found throughout the western United States, the tiny Pacific tree frog (Pseudacris regilla) is nicknamed the “Hollywood frog.” Countless television shows and movies have used its rib-bit, rib-bit call in nighttime scenes.

The northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens) is commonly identified by its highly distinctive call, a rattle-like snoring noise, followed by several notes described as “chuckling” or “clucking.”

Sometimes called the rain frog for its noisy choruses after a warm rain, the American green tree frog (Hyla cinerea) is also dubbed the cowbell frog for the sound of its short call when heard from a distance.

A raspy, quack-like call much like the scolding noise of a gray squirrel identifies the squirrel tree frog (Hyla squirella), found from southeastern Virginia through Florida and along the Gulf Coast to Texas.

Working with a green color palette and touches of brown, artist Nancy Stahl captured the defining features of each frog making them recognizable. Art director William J. Gicker designed the stamps. The Frogs stamps are being issued as Forever stamps and will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price.

Announced November 20, 2018. The most recent information will appear after the large illustration and the introductory description from the USPS. With this stamp, the 32nd in the Literary Arts series, the Postal Service honors poet Walt Whitman (1819—1892) on the bicentennial of his birth. The stamp features a portrait of Whitman based on a photograph taken by Frank Pearsall in 1869. In the background, a hermit thrush sitting on the branch of a lilac bush recalls “When Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloom’d,” an elegy for President Abraham Lincoln written by Whitman soon after Lincoln’s assassination on April 14, 1865. Considered by many to be the father of modern American poetry, Whitman broke away from dominant European poetic forms and experimented with free verse and colloquial expressions, writing powerfully about nearly every aspect of 19th-century America. The artist for the stamp was Sam Weber. Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamp. The words “THREE OUNCE” on this stamp indicate its usage value. Like a Forever stamp, this stamp will always be valid for the rate printed on it.

Updated November 3rd:: The Scott catalogue number for this stamp is 5414.
