Object Details

Description
On June 10, 2008, in Washington, DC, the Postal Service issued a 42-cent Love: All Heart commemorative stamp in a pressure-sensitive adhesive convertible booklet of twenty stamps. Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland, designed the stamp.
Illustrator Paul Zwolak of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, created the design for the 2008 Love stamps. Titled "All Heart," the design focuses on a large, bright red heart that is transporting its owner to an unseen beloved, who will be gifted with this heart full of love.
A total of 750 million stamps were printed in the gravure process by Avery Dennison, Clinton, South Carolina.
