I love stamps. Their glimpse of history and what nations choose to honor. Their mini artwork masterpieces. Their throwback to times when receiving correspondence from someone was more precious. From portraits to places to historic artifacts, stamps display so many versions of what we see as important. In honor of President’s Day, I decided to take a look through my stamp collection to see how many presidents I could find.
Here’s the list of eleven presidents I found in my stamp collection. Of course, some of our national favorites have been honored several times. Happy President’s Day in stamps!
- George Washington (1789-1797)
- John Adams (1797-1801)
- Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809)
- James Monroe (1817-1825)
- Martin Van Buren (1837-1841)
- James Buchanan(1857-1861)
- Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865)
- Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921)
- Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945)
- Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961)
- John. F. Kennedy (1961-1963)
