A Vintage Rose Forever Stamp Sheet of 20

This is a new A Vintage Rose Forever Stamp Sheet of 20. As a universal symbol of love, a rose adds a sentimental touch to correspondence. A Vintage Rose, a Forever stamp for all occasions, can be used for wedding RSVP cards and thank-you notes, Mother's and Father's Day cards, Valentine's Day cards, birthday cards, sympathy cards, thinking-of-you cards, or for any time a beautiful stamp is fitting. The stamp art features an elaborate floral line drawing of a rose similar to the design of the 2015 two-ounce A Vintage Tulip stamp. Both are new additions to the popular Weddings series. The drawings are details from engraved plates originally created by naturalist artist Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717). A small, deep crimson heart on each stamp brings a dash of color to the designs and makes them a natural pair. These stamps were printed using the intaglio printing technique. Jeanne Greco designed both stamps with Greg Breeding as the art director.
