The text on the back of the panel says, “The American artists represented here were born in diverse places around this country, as well as elsewhere. Some were self-taught, others were academically trained. They found their subjects both at home and abroad. These images, all details from the originals, reflect some of the enduring themes in American visual arts: a concern with individuality in a democratic society, reverence for the variety of landscape across the continent, down-to-earth realism, and a recurring sense of optimism and energy.” This stamp displays the art of Ammi Phillips. He was an itinerant portrait artist who worked in the areas of New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. This painting "Girl in Red Dress with Cat and Dog" ca 1830- 1835 was typical of his simple approach. It is displayed in the Museum of American Folk Art in New York City. A bit more history: The United States Post Office issued its first stamp on July 1, 1847. Since that time, over 5000 stamps have been released. Each stamp is given its own identification number called a Scott Number. This stamp has been designated as Scott Number 3236c
