Designed by Georgia native Greg Harlin, the stamp honored the 200th anniversary of Georgia’s ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Georgia became the fourth state on January 2, 1788, and this commemorative stamp was issued on January 6, 1988, in Atlanta, Georgia, as the fourth stamp in the Bicentenary Statehood series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2598\" data-start=\"2102\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2145\" data-start=\"2102\"\u003eSTAMP MEANING \u0026amp; SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE:\u003c\/strong\u003e The live oak tree symbolizes strength, endurance, rootedness, shelter, and connection to place. Draped in Spanish moss and paired with Georgia statehood history, this stamp evokes Southern heritage, resilience, family roots, and a graceful sense of home.

Issued from 1987 through 1990, the stamps appeared in the order in which the former colonies ratified the U.S. Constitution, with each design featuring symbols, scenery, or historic imagery associated with the state. The Georgia stamp was the fourth stamp in the series. It was printed by the American Bank Note Company in panes of 50 within sheets of 200 using lithographed, engraved, and photogravure methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pasted=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGUMMED STAMPS:\u003c\/strong\u003e These postage stamps have a traditional moisture-activated gum on the back.
