As a collector of presidential sculpture, portraits,
and memorabilia, Jerry Dadds was the ideal artist to
create stamps honoring 36 American presidents. His affinity
for making woodcut prints is evident in this portrait
of Martin Van Buren, which conveys a sense of history
through its deliberately archaic style. |
