The 1-cent Tiffany Lamp definitive stamp was released in a water-activated
gum (WAG) coil of 3,000 on March 1, 2003, in Biloxi, Mississippi. The stamp,
designed by Derry Noyes, Washington, DC, and illustrated by Lou Nolan,
McLean, Virginia, goes on sale nationwide March 2, 2003.
The Tiffany Lamp stamp features the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933),
a designer of glass, ceramics, jewelry, enamelware, and metalwork who transformed
everyday objects into works of art. Considered one of the greatest designers
of glass in his era, Tiffany is also remembered as a leader in the art
nouveau movement, a style in the visual arts that transformed design in
the United States and Europe from the 1890s to World War I. Tiffany Lamp
is the third stamp in the new American Design series, which began in May
2002.
