The United States Postal Service commemorates its 250th anniversary with a stamp series from renowned cartoonist Chris Ware. This collection portrays a postwoman engaging with her surroundings throughout the seasons, reflecting the vital role of USPS in American life. Launching on July 23, the stamps not only serve a functional purpose but also narrate a visual story of community and service. Ware’s distinct artistic style, filled with emotional depth, transforms each stamp into a standalone vignette, while collectively they depict a rhythmic journey through time and seasons, embodying the essence of everyday heroism.
These are quiet moments, beautifully rendered, and brimming with the same emotional nuance that's made Ware's storytelling so influential.
A day in the life stretched across a year - Chris Ware's illustrated postwoman doesn't just pass through scenes - she interacts with them.
