Carl T. Herrman, a former art director for the U.S. Postal Service, has donated his collection of original artwork and production material used in the creation of U.S. postage stamps that he designed or directed between 1992 and 2008.
The material complements the Postmaster General’s Collection, a one-of-a-kind philatelic resource with unusual, rare and unique holdings, on long-term loan from the U.S. Postal Service. The donation includes dozens of pieces of original artwork not found in the Postmaster General’s Collection and hundreds of art director’s working proofs.
A finding guide with a complete listing of stamps represented in the donated collection is available on the museum’s website at www.postalmuseum.si.edu/findingguides/.
