The three stamps shown above are from the U.S. definitive series of 1922-30, often referred to as the Fourth Bureau Issue. These stamps are popular with collectors because of their innovative design and crisp engraving, which depicts District landmarks: the Lincoln Memorial on the $1; the Capitol with the House of Representatives wing in the foreground on the $2; and a detail of the statue of Freedom atop the Capitol dome on the $5 (misidentified as America on the stamp). More Washington, D.C. stamps are featured throughout the website.
