Issue Date: 28th February'2026
Remark:
The latest issuance pays tribute to Harriet Powers (1837–1910), a pioneering African American quiltmaker whose artistry transformed fabric into storytelling. Her stitched works are celebrated as masterpieces of American folk art, blending local lore with biblical narratives in a style that continues to inspire generations.
The envelope proudly displays the Harriet Powers Forever® stamps, each featuring one of four distinct designs. These designs are drawn from panels of her renowned “Pictorial Quilt” (completed between 1895 and 1898), a remarkable creation that illustrates scenes of faith, folklore, and community memory.
I am grateful to A.W. Welch, USA (CCCC) for sending me this beautiful cover on the issue date. Such thoughtful gestures enrich the philatelic journey, and I look forward to receiving more fine covers from him in the future.
