Forever Postage Stamps Depicting The 400th Anniversary of The Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor (1 Pane of 20)

Forever Postage Stamps Depicting the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor, Pane of 20 This commemorative stamp marks the 400th anniversary of the arrival of 102 English passengers off the coast of today’s Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. The Mayflower’s passengers would become known to us as Pilgrims, and the story of their colony in America would inspire future generations and become part of the larger story of the nation’s founding ideals. The Pilgrim’s story is intertwined with the story of the Wampanoag—People of the First Light who made an alliance with the Pilgrims and forged a treaty with them that maintained relative peace for more than 50 years. The Pilgrims might not have survived their first year without the help and advice of the Wampanoag, with whom the Pilgrims celebrated their first harvest in the fall of 1621 The Mayflower Compact, Plymouth Rock, Thanksgiving—all became part of the enduring legacy of this tiny band of settlers whom we honor on the 400th anniversary of their arrival in America. Artist Greg Harlin illustrated the stamp, using a combination of watercolor, gouache, and acrylics, with some digital refining to convey a scene of desolate beauty at the end of the Pilgrims harrowing journey to an unfamiliar world. Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamp.
