Designed by Tom Engeman of Carbondale, Colorado, the stamp has the same design as the one issued on June 24, 1994, but with a denomination change from 29 to 32 and a 1997 date. The stamp, which was originally printed by Dittler Brothers, is now printed by Avery Dennison. The stamps will be issued in new formats of two self-adhesive vendible booklets of 15 (Item 6658) and 30 (Item 6659) and a self-adhesive convertible booklet of 20 (Item 6676). |
