Description:
Postage Stamp Title: Jack London Scott Cat. Number: 2182 Subject: London - John Griffith London (1876-1916) Design: Richard Sparks of Norwalk, Connecticut, under the direction of Howard Paine, a design coordinator for the Citizens’ Advisory Committee. Artist – vignette: Sharpe - Jim Sharpe (1936-2005) Typographer: Bradbury Thompson Engraver - vignette: Hipschen – Thomas R. Hipschen (1950-) Engraver – lettering and numerals: Dennis Brown Media: Intaglio Printer: Bureau of Engraving and Printing Color: Blue Size: 18.03 mm x 20.82 mm Country: United States Postage Value: 25 cents Issue Series: 27th in the Great American Series Issue Origin: Jack London’s 110th birthday Issue Date: January 11, 1988 Issue Location: Glen Ellen, California – location of London’s Wolf House estate, now the Jack London State Historic Park. Issue Size: 59,850,000 Richard Sparks based his design on a photograph of London taken in 1914 by the author’s wife, Charmian. Kittredge – Charmian (Kittredge) London (1871-1955) See: "The Engraver’s Line: An Encyclopedia of Paper Money & Postage Stamp Art" by Gene Hessler, BNR Press, Port Clinton, Ohio, 1993. Page 4 and 5 explain the production steps taken to turn original art into an engraved postage stamp. Worth reading as the engraver works from the beginning on a plate of about 3.5” x 4,” engraving a stamp at its finished size. Engraving is used for very few stamps today and, when one reads about the process, one can understand why. The author even provides particular engraver’s recipes for the acid they used, including that of James Smillie, the famous landscape engraver. Smillie - James Smillie (1807-1885). [show more]
