This stunning stamp showcases an exquisite oil painting created by artist Marvin Mattelson of Great Neck, New York. The gorgeous design features two swans in a head-to-head position, with their elegant necks forming a heart shape. This romantic imagery is the perfect choice for special occasions such as engagements, weddings, anniversaries, and Valentine's Day.
The first day of issue ceremony for this stamp was held at the charming Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles, California. Known for its enchanting atmosphere and scenic swan-filled lake, it's the perfect location to debut a stamp celebrating love. As a fitting symbol of love and devotion, swans mate for life and have strong family bonds.
Part of the Love Series, this stamp was created in response to the popularity of Christmas stamps. Since its official declaration in 1987, a unique love-themed design has been released almost every year. This vintage stamp, with a face value of 55 cents, is in mint condition and has never been used. It also features a self-adhesive backing for easy application.
