The United States Postal Service will continue its American Landmarks stamp series in 2021 with a new stamp to be issued in January that shows a historic Florida fort. The $7.95 Castillo de San Marcos stamp will fulfill the new rate for Priority Mail flat envelopes, which is expected to go into effect Jan. 24. It is the 25th stamp in the American Landmarks series, all of which feature illustrations by Dan Cosgrove.

As you can see, all of these illustration styles exhibit a sense of art deco and or advertisements. Out of all of these artists’ whose works that I love, I enjoy Mr. Henri Privat-Livemont’s the most. His artwork was really iconic in the sense that it drove forward the Art Nouveau movement. I love how he uses thick lines to outline everything in the picture because it demonstrates the regal-ness of society as it progressed in the 20′s. I love how this guy  nails down the vintage colors, giving the ad of the chocolate biscuits a bougie feel.
