On August 12, 2004, the USPS issued these stamps as a part of their American Treasures series, showcasing American artist Martin Johnson Heade's painting "Giant Magnolias on a Blue Velvet Cloth," which is part of the National Gallery of Art's collection. 

Born on August 11, 1819, in Lumberville, Pennsylvania, Heade received his first training from folk artist Edward Hicks and later continued his studies in Rome, Italy. He became known for his landscape paintings, which were heavily influenced by the Hudson River School of artists. Heade's focus on capturing light and mood in his paintings rather than portraying exact landscapes sets him apart from other artists of his time. 

In 1883, Heade moved to Florida and was inspired by the subtropical landscapes and stunning flowers, particularly the Magnolia grandiflora. He produced 17 paintings featuring these beautiful flowers, often laying them on velvet for a striking effect. By the end of his life, Heade had created an impressive collection of still lifes and landscapes. Don't miss your chance to add these vintage Martin Johnson Heade American Treasures stamps to your collection or use them to add a touch of southern sophistication to your mailings.
