George Washington has appeared on so many stamps that
he might seem to defy a fresh approach, but Mark English
celebrated Washington’s 250th birthday with clear
originality. He began with the traditional profile but
added marks of texture, and he transformed the American
flag and Washington’s dark collar into eye-catching
design elements.
