Item Description

Detailed
Description

This item consists of ONLY ONE
of the four perforated single stamps as shown in the picture, not
all four stamps.  I will send out any one stamp based on availability.  If
you want to specify any particular stamp, please check with me before you
bid the item or place the order.

Artist
Ron Spears, a Nevada resident, created the stamp art,
which depicts a close-up view of an area in Fire Canyon, part of Valley
of Fire,
Nevada’s oldest state park. Captured by Spears at dawn, the sandstone
formations
glow in shades of brilliant reds and yellows-a result of various
quantities of
iron in the rock-highlighted by deep purple and blue shadows. The colors

contrast dramatically with the whiteness of the silica in the
foreground.

The Nevada Territory, part of the land
transferred to the
U.S. at the end of the Mexican-American War, moved rapidly toward
statehood
after the Civil War began in 1861. Overwhelmingly approved by the
territory’s
voters on September 7, 1864, the Nevada constitution was relayed to
Washington,
D.C., via telegraph at the cost of more than $4,000-around $59,000 in
today’s
dollars. President Abraham Lincoln declared the territory a state on
October
31.

Nevada is a study in contrasts. It takes its name
from the Spanish
word for "snow-capped," reflecting the higher mountain ranges where the
snow
remains year round, yet a vast portion of the state is desert. Home to
glitzy
Las Vegas in the south, Nevada shares the pristine waters and forested
slopes of
Lake Tahoe with California in the north. Forests cover more than 12
percent of
Nevada, but it is the driest state in the U.S., with only 7.5 inches of
precipitation annually. The vast majority of the state’s population
lives in
cities and towns, yet Nevada has a history that reflects the frontier
spirit of
the American West.

Nevada’s state symbols reflect its
rich natural
treasures and diverse landscapes. The state bird is the mountain
bluebird, which
thrives in the high country. The single-leaf piñon, which grows in rocky
soil,
and the bristlecone pine, which grows at higher elevations, are the
state trees.
The desert is home to the state flower, the sagebrush
(Artemisia
tridentate), which flourishes in arid environments. The desert
bighorn
sheep, the state animal, thrives in Nevada’s mountainous desert
country.

Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the
stamp using original
art by Ron Spears.

The Nevada Statehood stamp is
being issued as a
Forever® stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the
current
First-Class Mail® one-ounce rate.
