The 1993 Columbus Landing in Puerto Rico Commemorative 29¢ Stamp Lithograph Framed, Scott #2805. Measures 22" x 18". This stamp was approved, designed, and printed in just six months to mark the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s landing in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico postal officials had been campaigning for a stamp honoring Columbus’s discovery of the island since 1986. When a USPS official visited the island in May 1993, a local district manager requested the stamp again, pointing out its significance to the Puerto Rican people as the start of their modern history. The USPS agreed to rush the stamp into production to get it issued on the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s arrival on November 19, 1493. The stamp features artwork by Richard Schlecht, who’d provided the artwork for the block of four Columbus stamps in 1992. His tempera and watercolor painting depicts two caravels (small boats) in Boqueron Bay. Schlecht based his boat paintings on descriptions from Columbus’s navigator logs. The 1993 Columbus Landing in Puerto Rico Commemorative Stamp Lithograph is in excellent condition and will make great memorabilia to a stamp aficionado. See the pictures for the actual framed tribute you will receive. SHIPPING It will be shipped USPS First Class.
