Arctic Animals Collectible Stamp Sheet

This pane of fifteen 33-cent Arctic Animals commemorative stamps was issued on March 12, in Barrow, Alaska. Wildlife has been one of the most popular stamp subjects. These five stamps, repeated three times in varying orders in a gummed pane of fifteen, are color reproductions of existing photographs of individual Arctic animals. The stamps were designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC, and photographed by Art Wolfe (Arctic Hare), Joe McDonald (Wolf), Zig Leszczynski (Snowy Owl), Gary Schultz, (Arctic Fox), Jeff Foott (Polar Bear), and Johnny Johnson (polar bear family).
