Nature of America Stamp Series

Inspired by the success of the dioramas of The World of Dinosaurs issue of 1997 (Scott #3136) the Nature of America Panes were printed on large sheets 9"x8.5" (233mm x 171mm), in self-adhesive format. To avoid any distraction from the visual continuity of the artwork the stamps are serpentine die cut, self-adhesive within the panorama. The back of panes have descriptive text of the stamp images and the flora and fauna depicted are identified and labelled.

A favorite issue of stamp collectors, the set goes far beyond stamp collection to those who appreciate the economical diversity of the United States. The complete 12 pane set includes the Sonoran Desert (1999), Pacific Coast Rain Forest (2000), Great Plains Prairie (2001), Longleaf Pine Forest (2002), Arctic Tundra (2003), Pacific Coral Reef (2004), Northeast Deciduous Forest (2005), Southern Florida Wetland (2006), Alpine Tundra (2007), Great Lakes Dunes (2008), Kelp Forest (2009), and Hawaiian Rain Forest (2010).
