Object Details
- Description
- The 25-cent Love special stamp was issued on January 18, 1990, in Romance, Arkansas. The stamp features two blue lovebirds over a deep pink heart and a decorative green garland. Designed by Jayne Hertko, this issue is the ninth edition in the popular Love Series.
- In response to increasing consumer demand for more convenience, this Love stamp was produced in both sheet and booklet format. Five-dollar Love stamp booklets, containing two panes of ten stamps were available.
- The stamps were the new special size that had been introduced with the 1988 Christmas stamps.
- The Bureau of Engraving and Printing printed the booklets, and the United States Banknote Company produced the sheet stamps. Both stamps were produced by the photogravure process.
