On February 7, 2014, in Kansas City, Missouri, the U.S. Postal Service® will issue a 34-cent Hummingbird stamp, (the new postcard rate stamp), in one design in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps and the other in a coil of 100 produced by Ashton Potter. The stamp goes on sale nationwide February 7, 2014.
The new Hummingbirds 34-cent Stamp postcard stamp celebrates the beauty and grace of the hummingbird.
The stamp art is a tinted, highly stylized, digital depiction of a hummingbird hovering near a plant.
Hummingbirds, known for their agility, brilliant colors, and long bills, are among the smallest birds in the world, ranging in size from about two to eight inches long.
Some weigh less than a penny. Special wing anatomy enables hummingbirds to fly forward, backward, and upside down, as well as to hover in one spot. The “humming” sound they produce is made by their rapid wing movements — the wings of some species beat up to 80 times per second!
The Hummingbird stamp features the art of illustrator Nancy Stahl. Carl T. Herrman was the art director.
The Hummingbird stamp is being issued in self-adhesive sheets of 20 and coils of 100. It is being sold at the postcard rate, 34 cents each, amounting to $6.80 per sheet, or $34.00 per roll.
