Honor the life and legacy of former first lady Barbara Bush (1925–2018), wife of the 41st president, George H. W. Bush, first lady of the United States from 1989 to 1993, and mother of the 43rd president, George W. Bush. The matriarch of one of the most successful political families in U.S. history, Mrs. Bush was a tireless advocate for literacy, while her plainspoken style and sharp sense of humor drew bipartisan respect around the country.
The stamp art is a detail from the official 2005 White House oil-on-canvas portrait of Mrs. Bush by Chas Fagan. She is shown in a purple top and black jacket, wearing one of her signature multi-strand pearl necklaces. Art director Derry Noyes designed the stamp.
The Barbara Bush stamp is being issued in panes of 20 Forever® stamps. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.
