Pack of 10 Vintage Unused US Postage stamps of the:

5 cent Walt Whitman Commemorative stamp.
Issued February 20, 1940
Scott catalog #: 867

Called the “Father of Free Verse,” Walt Whitman’s controversial style captured the imagination of his readers. Whitman spent years constantly updating his best-known work – the masterpiece poetry collection called “Leaves of Grass.” His poem, “O Captain! My Captain!” gave voice to a nation’s grief following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

Whitman had an intense personality. Legends and stories of his wandering lifestyle were so compelling that nearly a century later they influenced the “Beat Generation” of American writers in the 1950s and 60s. Whitman’s forceful physical presence inspired his friend Bram Stoker to use him as a model for the character Dracula.

10 Mint unused postage stamps with original gum as issued by the Post Office. These stamps are genuine and valid to use as postage for current mailing. Be sure to use enough total postage to meet the current postage rate for mailing a letter if you want to use them mailing.

Also good to use for scrapbooking or displaying in a small picture frame. It's a miniature work of art.
