Author Saul Bellow, leaders of the Underground Railroad and high-definition images from the James Webb Space Telescope highlight the 2024 stamp-issuing program of the U.S. Postage Service, the quasi-governmental corporation announced Monday.
The USPS released “a partial list” of 86 stamps planned for next year and said others will be revealed in coming weeks and months.
Two high-value stamps, a $9.65 Priority Mail and a $28.75 Priority Mail Express issue, will feature space images from the James Webb Space Telescope. The “Pillars of Creation” formation within the Eagle Nebula appears on the $9.65 stamp, while “a digitally colored depiction of the invisible bands of mid-infrared light emitted by the Cosmic Cliffs of the Carina Nebula” appears on the higher-value stamp.
Constance Baker Motley, the first Black federal judge, will appear on the 47th stamp in the Black Heritage commemorative series.
