About This Stamp

The set of four Folk Heroes stamps were issued to celebrate folklore characters of America: Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan, John Henry, and Mighty Casey. The stamp artwork was made by Dave LaFleur, a commercial illustrator. His style is similar to murals and posters created during the New Deal era in American propaganda art.
