|  Pilgrims Landing at Plymouth - Original Pilgrim Shallop Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: Date: Circa 1908 Media: Tinted collotype Title: Landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth 1620 from the Mayflower Subject: Pilgrim Shallop Publisher: Published in Germany for G.W. Morris, Portland, Maine Postage: 1¢ for United States and Island Possessions, Cuba, Canada and Mexico, 2¢ for foreign. Number: 84972 Addressed to Mrs. Eliza S. Gott, McKinley, Maine, Box 22. Front message: "Send me a postcard from Grace E. Gott" Postcard from Grace E. Gott (1896-1920) to her grandmother, Eliza Sawyer Butler, Mrs. Israel Gott (1847-1924) Grace E. Gott married Charles Lewellyn McKay on December 16, 1915. She signed the postcard as Grace E. Gott so archivists conclude that it was sent before that date. Judging by her handwriting, it is probable that she wrote the card c. 1908-1910. G.W. Morris printed their tinted collotype postcards in Germany in the early years of their existence (1901-1922). Archivists have therefore date the postcard as c. 1908. [show more] | |

Issue Origin: The Pilgrim Tercentennial was a national celebration from December 1920 to the summer of 1921. Issue Date: December 21, 1920 Issue Location: Plymouth, Massachusetts Issue Size: 196,037,327 See Also: "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] |
