The 5-cent Mary Cassatt commemorative postage stamp, the sixth in the annually issued American Painting series, was first placed on sale at Washington, D.C., on November 17, 1966.
This stamp is based on one of Miss Cassatt's most outstanding paintings, "The Boating Party," which hangs in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. Six inks will be applied in two passes through the Giori press and these will be blended and overlaid to create many additional tones. In the first printing, green-gray, red, and yellow-green will be applied; in the second, blue, dark blue, and dark green.
