The stamp, according to an
announcement by the U. S. Postal
Service, is the first in a series
honoring aspects of life in Rural
America. The issuance will be in
St. Joseph the day following the
World Angus Forum October 1-4
in Kansas City, Missouri, and the
ceremony will be the first stop on
the' 100th Anniversary National
Angus Tour. The first day of issue
ceremonies will be sponsored
jointly by the Postal Service and
the American Angus Association
at the Association’s headquarters
in St. Joseph.
The stamp design was adapted
from a painting by Frank Mur
phy of Chicago, Illinois. It shows
Angus bulls from Scotland and
native American Longhorn cows
in a prairie setting. The painting
was commissioned by the Angus
Association to commemorate
the 100th anniversary of the
importation of the first Angus
bulls into the United States. The
first four Angus bulls were
brought to Victoria, Kansas, by
George Grant to cross on
Longhorn cows Grant, a wealthy
London silk merchamt, had
established an agricultural
colony near Victoria. The bulls
arrived there on May 17, 1873.
The modeler was Frank
Waslick and the engraver was
Joseph S. Creamer Jr, both of the
Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. Yellow, red, green and
tan will be applied by offset, with
blue, black and red being added
by Giori press. There will be one
plate number, and there will be 50
stamps to a pane.
