Honoring John Lennon on Stamps


The Postal Service has unveiled new artwork for its forthcoming Music Icons: John Lennon stamp.

The Music Icons stamp, to be released September 7, features a 1974 photograph of Lennon and will be available in panes of 16. The stamps are treated with different color gradations, going from yellow-orange on the top row to red and purple in the middle and blue on the bottom row.

The pane is designed to resemble a vintage 45-rpm record sleeve with an image of a record peeking out the top. The other side of the pane shows a black-and-white photograph of Lennon seated at a white piano with his signature and the Music Icons logo.
