Once a popular method of reproducing art, engraving
no longer figures prominently on U.S. postage stamps,
but this World War I stamp demanded a traditional approach.
Robert A. Anderson created a lead-pencil drawing that
was later engraved by Czeslaw Slania, a world-renowned
stamp engraver. Slania’s detailed work, the result
of breathtaking patience, has appeared on more than
a thousand stamps worldwide. |
