About the artist:

Virtually everyone, and certainly every stamp collector, has at one time or another enjoyed the work of the award-winning American artist, David K. Stone. His paintings have appeared in America's leading magazines; Saturday Evening Post, Reader's Digest, American Heritage and McCall's, to name just a few. And, significantly, he has designed two United States postage stamps -the 1970 Fort Snelling issue -the 1974 Fort Harrod issue Without question, he is one of America's top artists and illustrators. One look at the original paintings he has created and it is obvious why many have compared his work to America's greatest artists. Stone possesses a rare talent that enables him to capture humor and sentiment in a manner that everyone, young or old, can enjoy.
