The Art of The stamp

Ever taken a look at the artwork on stamps? Some of them leave a bit to be desired, but many of them are true works of art. To that end an exhibit has been put together of stamp artwork. Take a look at the "Trailblazers and Trendsetters: Art of the Stamp" exhibition. It's from the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.
