Description:

Celebrate the beauty and serenity of snow with Winter Landscapes, a booklet of 20 stamps, featuring five winter scenes. Perfect for cards, invitations, and gift-bearing envelopes and packages, these photographs of snow-covered landscapes will add charm to all your mailings.

One stamp features two brilliant red barns that strikingly contrast with the surrounding snow, sky, and trees (John Moore, photographer). The landscapes in two other stamps focus on the beauty of freshly fallen snow: One image shows a long fence bounded by tall trees laden with snow-covered branches (Juanita Phillips, photographer). The other features willowy evergreens shrouded in snow, highlighted against a cloudy sky and far-off hills (Katherine Plessner, photographer). A fourth stamp shows a mass of icicles suspended against a fiery sunset and a backdrop of frozen waves (Carson O’Ffill photographer), while the final stamp depicts a house surrounded by frosty pines set against a deep pastel sky (Mike Blottenberger, photographer).

Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamps with existing photographs.
