The U.S. Post introduced the Love stamps which belong to the love series in 1973. The Love stamps are usually issued in time for Valentine’s mailing and feature designs filled with “hearts, roses, swans, and more, celebrating every splendor of that many-splendored thing.”
Celebrate the joy that flowers bring with two new stamps from the U.S. Postal Service.
Love Series Stamps
Inspired by old European folk art, the two stamps feature digital illustrations with similar designs: three round, stylized blooms ranging symmetrically along the top, with smaller round blossoms in each of the lower corners. The background color of one stamp is powder blue, and the other is coral. Twisting vines, which hold small multi-petaled flowers, form abstract heart shapes. The letters of the word “LOVE” are interspersed among the decorative vines.
Flowers can symbolize many things: romance, of course, but also friendship, sympathy, gratitude, and congratulations. Not only are they symbolic and beautiful, but flowers might have more tangible benefits. Studies have shown that flowers can increase happiness, decrease stress, and create a calming atmosphere.
The Postal Service has successfully captured the delight and exuberance of love since its first stamp in the Love series, issued in 1973. These floral stamps, with their colorful blooms and curling vines, are beautiful additions to the series. Released early in the year for us at Valentine’s Day, they are also perfect any time to add floral flair to letters, birthday or graduation cards, baby shower invitations, and notes of thanks—the uses are limitless. The colorful stamps will add charm and whimsy to any correspondence.
