From dropping letters in a mailbox to waving to neighbors and colleagues, the postwoman in Chris Ware’s new set of U.S. postage stamps does it all. The forthcoming release is rendered in the illustrator’s distinctive graphic style and commemorates 250 years of the United States Postal Service. Each stamp depicts an individual scene that, when viewed together, collectively tell the story of a postal carrier on her route through all four seasons.
Ware co-designed the stamps, which will be released on July 23, with art director Antonio Alcalá. You can pre-order a sheet now. (via Kottke)
