2016 “Botanical Art” Forever Stamps 100pcs

The 2016 “Botanical Art” Forever Stamps were issued by the United States Postal Service (USPS) on January 29, 2016, in Atlanta, Georgia, during the American Philatelic Society’s AmeriStamp/Southeastern Stamp Expo. This set celebrates the rich tradition of botanical illustration, featuring ten different floral designs, each a detail from illustrations that appeared in American nursery catalogs between 1891 and 1912. The artwork was sourced from The New York Botanical Garden’s Nursery and Seed Catalog Collection, one of the largest and most significant collections of its kind in the United States.
