Here is your opportunity to own a highly collectible limited edition 2009 First Day of Issue President Abraham Lincoln set of 4 Bicentennial U.S. Stamps and Pictorial Envelope Postmarked Covers. The U.S. Postal Service commemorates the 200th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), who rose from humble, frontier origins to become a prominent lawyer and politician and ultimately President of the United States. The four First-Class commemorative 42-cent stamps were created by Mark Summers. Summers is noted for his scratchboard technique, a style distinguished by a dense network of lines etched with exquisite precision. Each stamp features a different aspect of Lincoln’s life. These different times in his life include Lincoln as a rail-splitter, lawyer, politician, and President of the United States. Each stamp comes on a beautiful pictorial envelope which is postmarked on the first day of issue in Springfield, Illinois.
