Appreciate the beauty of minimalist design with the Shaker Design stamps from the U.S. Postal Service®.
The stamps feature 12 photographs by Michael Freeman — each showing an example of iconic Shaker design. The issuance coincides with the 250th anniversary of the arrival of the first Shakers in America.
The pane selvage features a black-and-white photograph of Brother Ricardo Belden (1868–1958) in his workshop at Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The photograph was taken by Samuel Kravitt circa 1935.
The Shaker Design stamps are being issued as Forever® stamps. These Forever stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce rate.
