About This Stamp
In 1992, the Postal Service issued a stamp celebrating the World Columbian Expo '92, an international stamp show that took place there in May to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus's historic voyage. The design is a stamp-on-stamp motif that features a portion of the 15-cent Landing of Columbus stamp originally issued in 1869.
Designed by Richard Sheaff, the stamps were printed in the offset/intaglio process by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
