The honorees range from the well-known, such as George Washington, Abigail Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, to those less often recognized, including James Armistead, Deborah Sampson, and Cornplanter. Together, they remind us that independence was secured by the contributions of many.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach portrait was newly created specially for the Postal Service by one of 12 artists. Their varied approaches reflect the individuality of the subjects. Some worked in traditional oil paints or egg tempera, others in pastels or digital media, resulting in a collection that balances historical likenesses with fresh, contemporary interpretations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome figures gaze out at the viewer, while others glance toward their neighbors on the pane or look beyond, as if to the future. To unify the portraits, an American flag is layered behind them. “That way, even with so many interpretations, the portraits form a unified design,” Kessler explains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe block of 25 stamps rests against a background that features the Declaration of Independence, anchoring the portraits in one of the Revolution’s defining documents. Together, they create a visual narrative of courage, conviction, and collective effort, inviting reflection on our core values and affirming that the work of forging a nation is never finished.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFigures of the American Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003estamps are being issued as Forever® stamps.
